Is There a Free Alternative to Lightroom or Aperture?

http://live.pirillo.com - If you are a professional photographer, you're either using Apple's Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom, I'm sure. This is for hard-core digital photo management. Both of these programs work well, but they are quite expensive. So, what can you do instead?

Aperture is only $79???? Has it had a incremental price drop because compared to Photoshop CS5 or Lightroom thats pretty cheap.

Well apparently Hasselblad is going to release Phocus 2.6 for free which will support a whole lot of raw files from different camera manufacturers. I could never find my way with lightroom and have few patience to be learning it. I just use ACR + Photoshop but it is both expensive and not that good for batch raw processing.
