I'm starting to keyword on import with both Picasa and LR. Honestly, I
think that Picasa is a better DAM than Lightroom due to the image
recognition algorithms built-in.

Like Chuck, I maintain a directory structure based on date and naming.
I modeled it after my physical folders in my file cabinets. It's a
pretty simple thing to find whatever I'm looking for as long as it
made it back into the files in the right manner. A primary reason for
using this style of directory structure is that it remains a software
agnostic approach and I can mix and match software or drop the CC
subscription if/when I want.

Yes, it has some limitations. But it is remarkably complete and
advanced. The weakest link remains the ACR engine. It is a very good
converter for most camera files, but you will find that for any one
given type of file, there is a better converter available. I most
certainly wouldn't call ACR the "best" converter available. "Most
popular" doesn't mean "best". McDonalds is the "most popular"
restaurant.
