For light to medium weight photo library management, iPhoto is excellent. People with absolutely massive libraries and various project to manage frequently turn to other tools.
On a newer Mac, casual photographers should have no problem with iPhoto. Interaction is instantaneous even with a 10000 photo library. Thumbnails from within iPhoto can be treated almost exactly like files in the finder. Want to copy a photo somewhere, just drag it from iPhoto to wherever you want it. There is also external editor support for anything more than trivial photo retouching.
