I've been searching for my followup to Apple Aperture and Exposure Software X5 looks to be it. It comes the closest to the DAM features I used the most from Apple. I've been running the trial for 2 weeks now. Their customer service is probably the best feature. They are very responsive and actually solicit items for additions. When i trialed PhotoLab, i inquired about adding raw support for a camera, they just looped me back to the published list. X5 folks asked me to send them RAW files to evaluate and responded that they would include that camera in their next update. I'm very encouraged. I plan to make the purchase.
