The idea behind tools like Picasa or more sophisticated like Aperture
and Lightroom is that you actually save time, automating
(non-destructive, which is very important) changes to multiple shots
instead of tweaking them one by one manually or via actions/scripts
from traditional editors like GIMP and Photoshop.

So one would actually need both photo management and editing.

And gegl-sharp already exists and is written by one of F-Spot developers :)
