I have 1.0 on order, but haven't received it yet. I tried downloading the 1.0 trial, but they wanted more information from me (my address? Am I getting a card for my birthday?) so I didn't bother. Hopefully I'll have the full version in a few days.
I just used Beta 4 to process a shoot I did today. Lightroom was used for copying the files off of the CF card, duplicating the original file on my external drive, convert to DNG and copy the image to my laptop, applying my creator data, and tagging the images with metadata keywords. (That's a one-click step.) It then took only a few minutes to sort the 60+ images down to a few candidates. Processing the raw files was straightforward, applying essentially the same WB and fill light settings to each. I then exported them as web-ready size to PSE3.0, which I'm still using for the final web-ready state. The total time was less than 30 minutes, which includes time to watch TV and browse the forums.
Elements is the vestigial flipper of my workflow -- I just haven't gotten out of the habit of using it.
