    I have experience using both darktable and Lightroom Classic. In my estimation, darktable is a more powerful tool than Lightroom Classic, except for the new AI features that LR has. However, darktable can be somewhat more cumbersome for novice and casual users.

    XnViewMP sure is a fine piece of software, and is in fact my default image viewer. But its editing and sorting capabilities are not as powerful and practical as Lightroom.

    Hugin is a panorama sticher (and an excellent one at that), but not a photo manager and editor.
