But, as you can see from the above comments, I seem to be in a minority of one. Calibre should definitely be the first stop for anyone who is interested in taming their e-library.
Personally I have found that it's better to "pre-process" my ebooks before dumping them into Calibre. Sorting and doing ISBN lookups and such takes a very long time. Longer than it should.

I see value in maintaining two libraries, the calibre library and a presorted backup.

With that being said, Calibre is good if you need visual info about your books. It is the only software of it's class.
