Yes, it would be great to allow people to migrate easily from Mac OS. Importing photos from iPhoto and Aperture is probably not too hard. Importing edits and metadata might be harder since it's not clear that these programs store data in any publicly documented format.

Would be great to have something like this. I am desperate to get away from Apples vendor-lockin but I have more than 20k photos.
