 I came to Photography much later than the rest of you, and just as I was getting serious Lightroom came out. Perhaps because I hadn't really got any embedded habits I took to it really quickly and it does two key things for me:

1. Organises my images in a way that means I can find them in numerous different ways.

2. A very fast work flow. Every other method I have heard described here just seems like a lot more work.

As it gets more mature a lot of the downsides seem to be eliminated.

One of the big benefits you mention is efficiency of file storage, I think where this really comes into its own is virtual copies. This lets you create numerous different versions of an image and try lots of different looks out with virtually no storage overhead.
