darktable had a bunch of weird default settings automatically applied to them (which i sure as hell didn't set up myself) and so far i like how lightroom deals with them
like, i don't know what it is about lightroom but it seemingly just doesn't expose as much various settings and filters as darkroom and it just is a more pleasurable experience? and the fact that i have a working hw acceleration on windows over linux also helps greatly
i hate how free software just bets all in on configurability and leaves everything for you to figure out yourself and/or has absolutely abhorrent default settings
like, configurability isn't a bad thing, abhorrent default settings (or lack thereof) is a bad thing and i could list all of the suspects one by one for next few minutes but i can't be arsed tbh
