Anyone out there using it?
Three hours in it seems; Daunting, capable and potentially very confusing.
Any warnings or tips?

I installed it on the Linux desktop in Mississippi mostly as a raw developer, but haven't really started trying to learn it yet. I have lately been starting to learn Kdenlive for videos.
All the previous posts are crazy talk to me.
I'm an analog guy in a digital world.

Do they offer good self training course material? If so, that would be a good way to approach it. One caveat - with open software, the self training material is often a bid behind the actual program, so, it can take a few tries on some functions until you have found them and some dialogs can be different than in the training material. But normally working through the self training material (if it exists) will get you there within a few evenings.
I just made a light coloured bench.
No need for an instruction manual, it's very intuitive.
It's all fun and games until Darth Vader comes.
They do - for instance there is a manual for each release available in multiple different languages -

but more accessible are the YouTube videos from the user community.

OK - Have managed to import, tag, process and export a roll.....
And there's a hell of a lot more to learn.

Yeah, I've tried but I've found it fairly impenetrable thus far. I installed it to handle the raw files from my Nikon DSLR, and I can do basic curve alterations, exposure, contrast, etc, but exporting the results always foxes me.
I keep meaning to spend more time on it to get to a point of basic competence, it would make a big difference to my enjoyment of using the camera. But so far, I keep finding better things to do with my time. I've just booked a 2 month trip to UK / Europe for next northern summer, perhaps that will provide the necessary impetus.

That's exactly right, an alternative to Lightroom - free and open source but if you already know that system and are happy with the fees then it's probably not worth the time to learn Darktable.- There are major differences in the conceptual model which will trip you up.
