Have you guys tried Darktable? I find the latest version very usable and flexible enough that I was able to make it match my old shell script based workflow without much trouble.

I've been using it as well, though I haven't tried the other options (lightroom, etc) but it works great for me.

FYI darktable does have a lightzone module that also follows the Adams ideas... and yes, that tool is awesome :)

I've been giving it a good run through its paces over the last week or so and I have to say I'm a convert. Despite not having the polish of some of the Bibble tools that I'm used to, I've found a way to do everything I need and you can just tell that there's more raw power to be unleashed and a lot more to be learned along the way. :)
A few samples:

That's encouraging. Nice photos, by the way - I particularly like Brimming Over. :-)

I haven't had time to look at Darktable - I did look at it a year to two years ago, and concluded that it wasn't ready yet.
I'll try and take another look this evening/weekend.
I'm not quite sure how to say this next bit without sounding like I'm spoiling for a fight, so I'll just say it:
Darktable will have to be better than Bibble to make me switch, not merely adequate for use... So whilst I'll evaluate it with an open mind, I have to admit I'd be surprised if I decide to switch...

The only problem with darktable is that it down now allow for region selection ... a big drawback in my view. But nice otherwise.
