By far my favourite organizing tool is Digikam. Works on both Linux
and Windows (not sure about Mac). Full tagging and rating support, as
well as metadata searches. Supports all image formats, including RAW.
And considering the slowdown in development of UFRaw, having a good
RAW developing app can be very helpful. This one supports all current
formats. It also includes tools for doing all kinds of things that
Gimp can't, like exposure blending. For everything else, you just
right-click on the image and select "Edit in Gimp".
