I've been using Photoshop since version 5 - currently using CS2 and will be updating to CS3 later this year. I mostly use it for editting my "serious" photos (not snapshots) because of it's outstanding tools that don't really exist anywhere else.
HOWEVER because of my general hatred for Adobe Bridge, I use a program called FastStone to organize and sort through my photos (trash vs. keepers).
It is freeware that was developed by a photographer and it had an OUTSTANDING feature set without being a resource hog.
It even allows you to view RAW files without having to convert them first - this is a HUGE time saver for me while sorting through a few hundred photos from a trip.
