EXIF data is very useful, as it can show the exact time, location, and other attributes of photo. However, it's really annoying how it attaches itself to images rather than stay as a separate file, so I usually turn it off. Are there any alternatives that stay as a separate file?

A text file that explains the exact time, location, and other attributes of the photo.
 
If you're a console chad,

Code:
identify -verbose photo.jpg |& tee photo.nfo

You can then delete the EXIF info, assured you have the contents of the tag.
Says I need Imagemagick installed for that.

and how would you associate those two, especially if you fuck up the file name? unless you want to treat it like a modern office document which is just a zipfile with different files, but then you just re-created the thing basically.

EXIF is fine, it's all the relevant info contained in the file it belongs to. easier to handle as well.
