I really, really want to like Darktable, mostly because of the name lol. I must’ve tried it 8 or 10 times over the years, but I just can’t get my head around it. Something about the design language or the UI or something just doesn’t click for me and I can’t get decent images out of it. So I keep going back to Rawtherapee, even though I’d rather not…

Yes, and I understand the process pretty well I think, as well as what I’m striving to output (long time Lightroom user). But the DT just doesn’t respond how I expect it to, with unexpected results. Frustrating.
Wasn’t aware of the pixls site though; I like that idea!

Every major update has broken something or fundamentally changed my workflow to such a degree that I no longer feel I understand the program. I currently use it in a semi-automated setup and I’ll likely have my package manager ignore its upgrades in the future barring total breakage of the package. Note: I’m not saying the program is bad, it’s just not something I’m interested in constantly tweaking/relearning if a future update is just going to break it.
I just learned about Ansel, which is a fork by someone who did a ton of work for DT but was ultimately too opinionated and got the boot. Apparently it’s way more streamlined and easier to work with. YMMV.
I’ve also heard about vkdt, which is very early, but still something to look at.
