I truly do miss Picasa so much, and I'm still mad at google about its loss. It was used extensively in family history research centers, and did a great job of automatically picking out pictures of your ancestors in old photos. I wish google had open-sourced it. Losing Picasa seriously made me distrustful of putting my personal data (in this case all of the annotations) into a proprietary app. I prefer open source, but if I can't get that then the real line for me is open data format.

Fellow Picasa user in mourning here. I have settled on XnView MP [0] as my Picasa replacement in terms of managing my photos locally. It took a bit of UI + options tweaking to get it close, but it is pretty fast for my purposes (quickly browsing folders of photos). My main image library folder is synced on Dropbox so I can have a nice local version of things on each computer. It doesn’t do AI stuff, but for photo management it gets the job done.
