While it is an admirable goal to have an "all-in-one" program do 
everything, I expect that it is also an unreasonable goal.

PS is a great image refiner/manipulator.  It is not a great tool for 
printing, resizing/upsizing (interpolating), or anything else 
associated with printing.  Qimage is....and....BTW...provides a much 
better, easier workflow.

Downloading from CF card or camera is another area.  Downloader Pro 
runs circles around PS or Lightroom.

Noise and sharpening are other examples.  PS capability improves, but 
products such as Focal Blade or Photokit, for sharpening, and Noise 
Ninja or Neat image, for noise, continue to give much better results.

I am a pretty straighforward person.  I long ago decided I could 
either "keep hitting my head against the wall until it stopped 
hurting" or I could find the best path/tool to used that does the job 
I want and use it.  For me, it is, among others, the tools listed 
above.
