IPhoto'11,good to use or not?

Question

I bought iLife'11 in the first time after it released and the nightmare begun...
For iLife I use iPhoto almost exclusively so I don't know if other applications work well or not,but the iPhoto'11 ......too bad to use.
Yes,it's more beautiful and you can browse your pictures in full screen,but the greatest problem is that it gets stuck often and responds slowly.I often have to wait for nearly a minute after clicking a button or taking some changes on my album.
And,I find I can't pinch to enlarge my photos when browsing pictures,I can only make it when I edit a picture.So it's hard for me to read a scanning comic book.
What's more,the iPhoto'11 which I get is a 32-bit version,is not Snow Leopard a 64-bit OS from bottom to top?If yes,why the iLife'11 is still a 32-bit program?
In a word,I miss my iLife'09
What's your using experience about iPhoto'11? Am I the special case?

Answer 1

I don't know why but I can no longer see the date of a photo before importing it, only the entire range?
I usually just plug my iPhone in and I can see the date of a specific photo simply by selecting it. This is a major draw back for me as I build up a collection of photos before importing them to iphoto and often I can't remember which photos are associated. For example I take lots of photos of my baby boy and the location is the same making it hard to distinguish occasions.
Come on Apple, you've paid at a whole lot of money to developers only to go backwards? Do you need to spend a few million on ensuring better quality control? I'm sure Steve could just sit at his desk for a moment and try it for a sec, didn't take me long to work out there's some big draw backs.
All that was needed really was the little fullscreen button which I'm surprised wasn't implemented ages ago.
