That's actually the main disagreement point - darktable team doesn't
believe that raw development is something that should be done by
intuition, instead 'the artist' should understand how the instrument
works (e.g. how painters learn how to get specific color by mixing the
available paints and which brush to use to get specific stroke width).
'The artist' should envision the result he wants to get (that's the
artistic part of the process) and then use the instrument to get it,
knowing how to achieve it (of course it can take some number of
iterations), instead of fiddling with random sliders trying to get
something that "looks good". If you want the latter, darktable is not a
tool for you, there are alternatives you should try instead of asking
darktable to change its concept. darktable team doesn't aim at pleasing
everyone or increasing its "market share" at any cost - it doesn't make
sense for free software project to have such goals when developers are
doing it for fun at their spare time. Instead the goal is to maybe
teach some photographers the modern way to process raw files from their
cameras, getting more predictable and consistent results. It's
impossible to do without some good will from the users to learn
something new and to not be stuck with the habits they got from other
image processing software out there.
So please don't post any feature requests to github about this, because
they will be just closed by pointing to
https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/7841
as the only possible way forward on this subject. Which by the way I
hope will get implemented and will cover the discussed "custom
workflow" problem. Better developers spend time on doing actual work
instead of arguing on the Internet;)
