Joe, I found Aperture very intuitive and pleasant to figure out. I use it with RAW files from my Leica D-lux 4, M8.2, and X100. It won't work on RAW with my X-10 or D-Lux 6, so I shoot JPEGS on those. I bought Lightroom so I could shoot RAW on the X10. But finding it a lot less intuitive and rather frustrating, I have more or less given up on it.
