As a newbie to the world of Macs (did I mention that I got a Mac Mini just over a week ago?) I have been very impressed with many aspects of iPhoto. It encouraged me to try my first RAW photo since getting my D40 at Christmas!
I was under the impression that, when you open a RAW photo, iPhoto does an automatic conversion - if you manipulate it, are you working directly on the RAW image or just the processed result?
My solution for more in-depth RAW work has been to install VMWare Fusion, allowing me to run a virtual Linux box with The Gimp and ufraw within OS X. However, if you've got Photoshop CS3 then it sounds like that would be your best bet for more control over manipulating RAW images.
