That's my experience too. I reluctantly abandoned f-spot - not due to 
lack of features but lack of stability. I liked it a lot. shotwell is ok 
but has some enormously frustrating limitations. I came across a 
favourite again yesterday: Browsing a selection of images and want to 
remove a particular tag from the selected images. Can't be done. I'd be 
prepared to go through a bit of pain to go back to f-spot if it was 
stable. It had all the basic features I needed as a photo management system.
