I hope some day to become as good as low-level point-and-shooter as you are as I, too, do 90% of my stuff now in LR and what it can't do, which isn't much, in CS5.

I am not a Photoshop artist but a photographer. I am quite happy to restrict myself to the adjustments that correspond to what I used to do in the darkroom, and this is where LR shines. All that stuff with layers and liquify filters and I don't know what is totally unnecessary for me. The only of the above mentioned activities at which Photoshop is better than Lightroom is spotting. For that reason, I still have PS CS 3 which I use on my film scans, since they invariably need a lot more spotting than digital images.
