Never heard about lightzone before, so I'll try and take a look :)

I personally like digikams editor very much, amongst many other reasons for the nice 
previewing - I enabled mouseover before/after preview, so I can easily compare the 
current adjustment of any action with the previous image. 

I have used it for years of course, and that makes it very comfortable for me, whereas 
gimp can make me cry, and darktable makes my shoulders quite stiff... ;)
