@Raoul It was only a matter of time before Adobe put out Lightroom 2. What was in question was what features would be included. Adobe clearly has the edge in everything, but timing. Apple got the jump on them pretty good. At this point if they keep including feature rich upgrades I'm not sure the timing to be first to market is as critical. Assuming Adobe doesn't squander the trust they've built with their customer base (see here)

Did we expect anything less from Adobe after Apple threw down the gauntlet? It would have been a significant failure if they'd come out with less, considering the time and experience advantage they have over Apple when it comes to image processing.
