As a longtime non-professional user of Darktable on Linux, I love it. It has allowed me to turn badly exposed raw photos into usable ones more times than I can count. Some of its tools are uniquely powerful, e.g., the equalizer. It's amazing what the Darktable team has achieved. Kudos!

I have licenses for some higher-end photo post-processing software on macOS but, I always return to Darktable because, it's fast, extremely flexible and the results are terrific.

It's a really good piece of software. Kudos to them for keeping up the good work.

Me too. Thanks especially to the awesome YouTube tutorials of people like harry, I have taken my photography yo absolutely the next level.

I love the concept of this being a digital darkroom where much artistic expression occurs long after taking an exposure.

Thanks you for sharing this. I've seen one video in this playlist opened my eyes to the level of adjustments that Darktable allows.

Bruce Willis's Learning Darktable is pretty good, too.

I'm guessing you mean Bruce Williams ;-). But yes, he has a very extensive set of tutorials on everything related to Darktable (40+ videos at this point) and he's busy adding some on Darktable 3. Also, he's a photographer with a lot of experience so a lot of what he presents is from the point of view of a photographer trying to get sensible results.
