[…] 2/2:
I feel like actual art apps miss out on the 'contextualization', with a heavy focus on the 'individual document'. Doing some crops in DarkTable helps me notice what things need fixing, then I can go back and fix them in the base file.
(changes will show up when I restart DT; or maybe sooner, but I didn't figure out how to refresh the cache yet)

Definitely high skill ceiling -- crazy powerful app IMO. Bruce Williams has a youtube channel that explains DT really well and in-depth. Got to my current point in 13 days with the help of that.
Also some really intelligent and interesting technical choices (eg. every single tag can have a 'custom sort order' associated with it -- user defines ordering via the usual DnD means)

Would be really interested to see if anyone uses DT to help designing comics -- seems like it would actually be extremely helpful for that.
