I wouldn't call it poor, but it is different, much the same way that Raw
Shooter from 2006 was different. I still have a working copy of that
and when I go back to play with it, it's really alien, all the controls
are there more or less there, but not like anything I'm currently used to.
Darktable is seems to be quite capable, but, it would be like switching
between a K-3 and a K20D, the essentials are there, but the differences
in UI are such that it's really aggravating.
On the other hand, there is probably less difference in the quality of
output between various RAW rendering packages than between those two
cameras.

I came across Darktable purely by accident. The blurb said it was
better than Lightroom in many respects so I just wondered if any of
you boffins had tried it. If the UI is as poor as some of you say, I
wont bother with it.

I don't use Darktable per se, I downloaded it to evaluate alternate
raw rendering software, quite some time ago, and still have it
installed on my desktop. My opinion at the time was that it worked
but the user interface would take more than a bit of getting used to
and there were more intuitive programs out there. As it is I'm still
using DxO Optics Pro. 9 which still does everything I need it to do,
and for anything it can't do with it,I can use my old version of
Photoshop CS2.
Personally if I were going to use a "Free" raw processing program, I
think I'd go with Raw Therapee. The interface is more like what I'm
used to and they seem to cover all current Pentax camera bodies, so I
would expect them to support pretty much everything else.
