Looks great. I might ditch Lightroom for this and donate the subscription moneys to you instead, as a matter of principle.

But everybody is and forever will be comparing Darktable to Lightroom, so how about:

- Add to website a clear comparison vs Lightroom.

- Add to website how to import Lighroom catalogue.

I use an antiquated version of Lightroom on Windows that I shelled out for years ago, but I seem to recall that Darktable got Windows support 1-2 years back - I'd love to see a direct comparison to see if it's worth making the switch.

Feature-wise, Lightroom is great - my main beefs with Lightroom are performance and stability: it's slow, and crashes occasionally.

I'm not exactly against paying subscription fees.

What royally pisses me off with Adobe is that I now have pay them monthly to maintain access to my photo catalogue (edits/keywords/etc), but they don't use my moneys to improve their products.

I don't even remember when was the last useful new feature to either Photoshop or Lightroom, but I doubt it was within this decade.

Yeah. I can see myself switching from LR to this if I could import my catalogue. I wouldn't expect the develop settings to be exact but it would still be a big help.
