No offense, but claiming that you are "pretty smart", so you should not have any problem with learning the software. I took me about 30 mintues to grasp the basic concept of database and basic workflow. Even my old mother who has limited knowledge about computer can grasp LR concepts (even though a little struggle at first). She's organizing her photos using keyword, collection, etc. really well now. If you don't have the time to do that, then just use whatever software you are using right now. No need to switch to LR just because of the hype. Tons of photographers out there don't use LR at all. Just my 2 cents.
