It's fine for simple filing systems, but no good if you need to search for images by keyword, camera uses, location and a host of other possible parameters. Bridge is designed to show you the contents of folders on your hard disk in real time and with no centralised database to speed up searches.
Lightroom is not the same as Bridge, Adobe's folder browsing tool. This is the Map module, where images with location date are displayed on a map. The Lightroom interface is organized into 'modules'.
