I haven't had to consult documentation for RawTherapee in order to do
what I want to do with it.

Where's that hiding? I never once saw it.

But equally powerful programs that do the same thing as darktable have
UIs that make sense and are usable WITHOUT HAVING TO CONSULT THE FINE
MANUAL.
Anyway, my on-again-off-again experiences with 3D software (about 5
different programs) has always stumbled on their interfaces. The only
thing that helps are ancient memories of engineering and architectural
drafting in middle school!

That's OK. Does darktable have a plugin to turn a RAW photo into a MIDI
file derived from the graphic image?
See, now we're on-topic again. ;-)
