However, once you get used to a database centered approach (which I know from other switchers can be hard to accept, not just for images, but music, too), you might miss exactly this part in C1.

I use the database capabilities of LR for tagging, rating, comments and EXIF infos. But everything is stills stored in folders (directories) and this structure is not virtual but resembles the hard disk folder structure. This works vice versa, so directories created in LR are created on the HDD as well. IMHO this is a good compromise to get the best of both worlds with minor drawbacks and retains at least a bit of system independence.
