Why the heck would I want a program to "organize" my pictures, since I already have them organized in their own folder with dates?  Weird ... allowing a program to do for you what it can not do, and change dates on things left and right, which is bad. My box of negatives is listed by dates, and event. So I know where my GONG pictures come from, and other bands, for example.
Nowadays, you can buy the paper at Wal-Mart, or Fred Meyer/Kroger and it's not that bad, however, I have not seen, any program that can bring up the pictures, help clean it up and then print it, and maybe Photoshop is the better one here, but I am not about to spend $600 dollars on it. However, for professional work this would be necessary, as you could clear spots and dots and scratches on the film (if scanned), and take out red eye and such for fairly good family pictures ... with one exception. I am not a fan of these pictures beyond 8x10 at all.

1. I agree on no larger than 8x10.  Typically I don't print them view on line.
2. Photoshop Elements is $79.00 not the full blown Photoshop.  Not NEARLY as powerful for editing but it does have a few nice features. 
3. As far as the Organizer, I am not NEARLY as organized as you are.  My pictures are a MESS of scanned images and digital pictures.  The Organizer has allowed me to take several thousand mixed pictures and sort them by person, place (if so encoded) and date (again if so encoded).  The scanned images take much more work because they don't have the date taken put in by default, only date scanned.  For me its very handy.

This was a huge issue on the lab I worked with, and the fact that they had no organization whatsoever, and I started up one, with envelopes for each session, with dates and owner name, for example, and it was from that time on (around 1992 or so), that I started keeping track of all my negatives in specific envelopes and they are in a box in order.
 
The organization is not hard, but remembering what the shoots were is a harder issue, and I'm just glad that some things stood up, and I was able to put together a huge album of pictures in order that covers about 15 years or so. Mind you, I have not "finished" this book, but most of the early stuff is all there in order.
 
My biggest question these days, is about some negatives and pictures that are too good for words ... scan them and save them? Some of the GONG pictures I have are special. And I'm glad I mailed a set of 5x7's to each of those members at the GAS office at the time. For example, but I would hate to see these kinda "lost" and forgotten, since they are special in feeling and content.
 
I'm not as organized as that, however, my file cabinet is getting a make over and it's looking a lot better than it did!!!!! I can find things now! Scary thought!

You can subscribe to Adobe's Photography Plan, which includes Lightroom and Photoshop, for only $9.99/month. It's amazing value if you're a keen or professional photographer, and some of the development tools that are available now - stuff like sharpening and noise reduction - are almost magical in their abilities. Amazing times indeed. 

 This is what I did about a year ago.  I don't use it as much as I would like too, but its always ready to go with the latest version.

Oh so now Moshkito is getting credit for my quotes 

Ha, I was using the iPad and couldn't get it to quote correctly. I finally just gave up on it.

It's bad enough getting misinterpreted, let alone misquoted!
