I tend to think that perhaps I'm overthinking this, but here's the
question: In v3.4, I could "import" an "image" or a "folder" (section
2.3.1 of The Fine Manual for v 3.4). Now that v3.6 has been released, I
can "import" then "add to library" or "copy & import", per section 1.4.1
of The New Fine Manual. It almost seems that these changes are purely
verbiage, not unlike a used car salesman calling a "pig" a "cochon" to
be able to double the sale price. Frankly, I prefer to be able to open
a single image the way I did in v3.4 to the new way of opening a
library, then a folder, then an image as in v3.6. It seems to me that
if my perception is correct, darktable is sliding too close to things I
detest about Lightroom. If my perception is wrong, I'm very open to
seeing it differently, but this is what I see right now. Thoughts?

Methinks you are quite right in your observations.
The new approach is unnecessarily complex, and replaces a previously
simple set of actions that worked well.
Further more for those not using the library functions (*) of darktable
it is downright confusing.
(*) --library :memory:
Just my two pence.
