Darktable is the best RAW developer on Linux today (in my opinion and
I looked at all of the ones that I could find, including commercial
options). If I had a choice between 'Darktable with DAM' and a program
that was just as good without DAM, I would be using the latter because
it is all that I need. But I don't. If I want the best RAW developer on
Linux, well, it comes with a bunch of DAM features that I don't want and
I get to work around them as best I can.
I'd like to ask everyone to consider this use-case too. I think it
speaks well for Darktable that it is the best RAW developer for Linux,
not just 'a RAW developer with DAM'. But it does mean that there are
people who are just going to be interested in the RAW developer side of
it.
(One of the many reasons that I'm not interested in Darktable's DAM is
that I have already migrated from one RAW developer to Darktable. I have
no particular guarantees that I won't be making a similar migration
in the future and accordingly I very much don't want all of my asset
management locked up inside a program that I may have to abandon in the
future. Today I do asset management through the filesystem because I am
pretty sure that anything will be able to deal with that, one way or
another. In fact the RAW developer that I migrated away from had its own
DAM, which I also didn't use. That turned out to be a really good thing
in the end.)
