digiKam

The past few years have been an epic battle between these two programs. This year, we think the contestants might be a little tired, because although they still are clearly the top two choices, their popularity pretty much has leveled off. digiKam ekes out a victory by less than two percentage points, which means it's hard to go wrong when you pick one of these two. Whichever you choose, it's bound to be better than my solution: shoebox full of photos.
