It's also open in that even its internal DB (maintained so it doesn't have to keep on rewriting images all the time) is a sqlite database, so easy to fiddle with outside of digikam.

Right. But try copying it from one computer to the other. It will loudly complain about invalid an UUID. It stores the UUID of the disk in the DB.

In 1.3, the database can also be external (so, sharing photo meta-data between different machines is possible, if the photos are in a constant location, e.g. network share). At present only MySQL is supported, but more external databases will come.
Digikam is also available on Windows, and while there are a few small issues, works adequately, and is better than many of the free apps on Windows.
