This is an awesome idea. I think what people might be missing is that even with the features you currently have, there's a market for this application already, though maybe not as a stand-alone lightroom replacement. If you think about batching, my brain immediately starts gravitating towards real estate, headshots, HS seniors photos, ENG. In short: drop the filters, put the "basic" controls on the left, focus on what you do best. Kudos, folks, I'll be watching this one!
