I use LR2 on a regular basis for my workflow, in conjuction with CS3 and it works well.  I probably use it for about 90% of my processing of raw files, CS3 doesn't get much of a workout anymore.   I also no longer use a separate cataloging software to organize my photos as LR seems to do a fine job of it.
