I tried it , in fact several times. When it first came out.
Couldn't warm up to it then, nor later when i got LR3. Even bought an ebook guide to help me get a handle on what I might be missing.
I know some swear by it, but I am still passing.
Just wanted you to know, your not alone

I really agree with Paul. I have been using Lightroom for four years 

and I am still befuddled by it. I much prefer the camera raw interface 

in Photoshop to the Lightroom one. I know they do the same things, but 

I can see what I am doing much better in camera raw.

I still have situations where I cannot for the life of me change from a 

grid view to a whole page view. Normally, there is no problem, but now 

and then I just have to put up with what Lightroom has decided to do.

I also hate the Lightroom cataloging system. I try to make one that 

works for me but it is not great. I am actually thinking of dumping 

Lightroom. I see the main problem as an unfriendly user interface and 

real lack of integration with Photoshop.

If they expanded Adobe Bridge capability it could be great.

Lightroom may be great for the technically very savvy superuser but it 

is not good for someone like me. I am not going to spend any more money 

on it.
