I second that. I use darktable since about one year now and am really
pleased with the results and the performance (development and the
program itself). I try rawtherapee every now and then and it is a fine
peace of software. But I am used to darktables handling.

As I only shot raw photos since using darktable I changed my operation
method a little bit:

- import photos with digikam (renaming and simmilar stuuf included)
- first raw process step with darktable
- export to jpeg with darktable
- tagging with digikam (jpeg and raw, raw in digikam db only).

If there is a need to change some parameters in darktable I adjust them
and export the affected pictures once again (gets _01 append to the
basename). After that I run a script which copies the exif data from the
old jpeg to the new one and replace the old jpeg with the new one.

If I have to do some final stuff I export the photo into png and do it
mostly in gimp. But management is still done in digikam.
