The screenshots don’t add any real insight into how it works. It just shows what the ui looks like.
I beg to differ. I work with RAW files all the time, and it’s VERY clear to me what Rawtherapee does from the screenshot alone, vs something like this (another FOSS raw image editor): https://www.darktable.org/
And darktable has a single, basic screenshot. Without it, you’d really have no idea what it does or how it works.
I think you might be a categorised as a “heavy user”, or at least more than me, a guy who uses GIMP once per year and barely knows the basics.
You’re clearly looking at this with a completely different lens. To me they look the same. Neither website speaks to me.
But I might not be the targeted audience. If I really wanted to know which app to pick, I’d look up some reviews and do some comparisons. The website is a tool in that, but not a deciding factor.
I can think it works differently for you, because you already know what you’re looking for and you just want to confirm your expectations. Maybe you’re not the intended audience either.
Maybe the website is I tended for the idiot masses who just see a pretty website and click “buy now”
