unlike many other high-quality open source programs, darktable comes
with excellent documentation.

very much like all other open source programs that come with
documentation, nobody seems to bother to read it :-D

exporting a processed image happens with the "export" feature in the
lighttable view (surprise!). and not only does it support multiple cores
where it matters (during batch processing and export), it even does
openCL rendering if your graphics hardware allows it.

if you think it's the most unintuitive ui, try blender for a refreshing
sense of perspective :) powerful programs tend to have a learning curve...

ok, enough ot blabber, i'm a darktable fanboy, and i'll leave it at that :-D
