Adobe Elements 2.0

I have 1.0, but I have never used it since it runs in Classic. I also
have GraphicConverter 4.7 that I use a lot. I can get AE 2.0 for about
$80. My questions, for those of you familiar with both AE and GC, are:
What are the benefits of adding AE? What does AE do that GC doesn't?

If these seem like stupid questions with obvious answers, please
remember that I don't currently use AE1.0 and I don't really know
anything about it.

Just to confirm, from another strictly amateur user, that Photoshop
Elements seems to be a "Photoshop Lite" that is less expensive but still
contains many of the core features of the full-bore PhotoShop, and is
(in my limited experience anyway) fairly easy to learn and use.

Also throw in my standard plug: iView MediaPro is a very nice program
for inputting, cataloging, organizing, "webbing", "slide showing", and
doing simple image manipulations on digital images in the Mac.
GraphicConverter has, and merits, a very strong reputation in these
areas also; but I think if I were forced to chose one only, I'd take
iView over GC.
