I would love a photo managing tool that would allow me to import photos, do backup and auto-organize by some predefined rules (eg. folders by year, month etc), but also be able to use the current file structure (no proprietary library blobs like iphoto, with no way to export). It wouldn't let me delete photos by accident, or overwrite them, etc. There would be a clear distinction between source and destination when importing. I would be able to lock files for safe keeping. No stupid dialogs like "copying 9999 files, found one with the same name, skip/skip all". Instead it would have a "dry" run, a preview of the result, thumbnails etc. It would allow me to scan for duplicates or find similar images, detect anomalies and corrupt files.
For previewing, it would find faces and locations, I would be able to group by date, location, etc. There would be a way to see the photos in a browser and share, but only see the photos, so kids can't accidentally delete theme (unlike Synology's crap software only made to tick boxes, boy was that a waste of money). And it needs a timeline view, like google photos, or what smartphones do.
