I usually import my photos into Aperture and think "that looks nice!", up until the point where Aperture replaces the Nikon embedded previews with the ones that it rendered. Where did the colour go? Everything acquires an ugly green tint, reds fade away, and let's not even go over the saturation slider. Try using that to get some of the lovely red tones back and they turn puke-yellow instead. The dodge & burn controls in Aperture are so bad that I don't even touch them. The patch tool is pretty unusable as well. I really hope Apple addresses these issues on the next release.

The fact that I used the term ACR twice and noted how spot on the camera profiles are was the subtle almost subconscious rant and rave about Aperture NEF processing.
