Digikam raw files and darktable

[cerp]

Dear Juan,

I am not sure people use always the same editor. People may have more  
than one camera using different RAW format, and you tend to use the  
best RAW editor for the specific format. For example, we use a  
combination of editors. Even proprietary software we have used  
CaptureOne, Lightroom and Silkypix, depending on the camera  
(CaptureOne and Lightroom for the Leica, Silkypix for the RAF).

This is even more true in the OS environment.

Best,
