I don't use Aperture, but I do use iPhoto (and iTunes) and have never had an issue with library corruption (I've been using them since their original versions). I should point out that I only use iPhoto like an old-fashioned photo album, i.e. for looking over and showing off the printed copies (JPG files), while the negatives (RAW files) are stored elsewhere. Having said that, it's quite easy to find the originals if you need to, by simply ctrl-clicking on the application package, selecting Show Package Contents, then navigating. iPhoto sorts them by year then by Event within each year.


One other place to ask these questions would be the Aperture section of the Apple Discussions.
