I'm "retired". Sometimes micromanaging is fun.

I had to go in sideways to pull out anything I wanted to edit more than
iPhoto's limited "edit" allowed. Then the files were messed up. This
may have been improved with later versions, but I abandoned it long ago.

Personally, I'd either put it in both or add an alias.

Not sure what sideways means. If I want to use a photo outside of
iPhoto, I can drag it from iPhoto to the desktop or to the application
by the icon, or I can use the File-Export.

Then I can do whatever I want with the file. When I'm done, I could
move it back to iPhoto (though I'm likely at this point to end up with
both the original version and my edited version appearing in iPhoto.
If this happens, I could delete one if I wanted to).

So what _should_ happen when you want to edit beyond iPhoto's limited
ability?

Do all the iPhoto fans NAME their fotos? Mine have numbers assigned by
my camera.
