I have. The "Lightroom" is already better than Darktable, after what, 11 days?

Edit: Ok, so instead of downvoting me, could people reply with how you disagree? I am expecting downvotes for trolling and unhelpfulness, but not for "I don't like that what you said is your true experience".

I have literally tried to migrate to Darktable, and it's just not up to snuff. But I tried rawmakase (which is on like day 11) and it literally is.

Mate its been a couple of days, I would think you'd be mad to expect perfection from an LLM reverse engineering job straight away.

As a proof of concept however it shows that we are at the stage where any malicious actor has a very low barrier to entry to cause large scale corporate espionage etc.

I mean...have you? Presumably from copies you built yourself. As someone who long carried a Creative Cloud subscription, I am astonished at how much functionality is there already.

The Photoshop clone absolutely fulfills my needs immediately: Basic cropping, adjustments, tone mapping, occasional blur/filter type functionality, etc. Well I did "vibe code" in HEIC and JXL import and export functionality (shelling out to the platform heic and jxl libraries in sandboxes for both open and export), but holy shit, it is quite simply amazing, and it gives me a consistent interface I'm accustomed to. And it built and runs superbly on Linux too!

It absolutely isn't 100%, or even 50% in many cases, with some apps more than others. Like the Acrobat clone is fantastic for the basics like moving pages around, filling out forms, etc, but real editing is a mess. I needed the ability to change z-order and move elements so I had Claude add that in moments.

I mean, I get that people like being world weary and cynical, but these "vibe coded" projects are astonishing, and they are a bellwether that absolutely nothing is as it was.

I have no doubt these tools are useless for hardcore Illustrator users, or so on, but countless CC subscribers only touch the surface of features, and in days this already satisfies that.

Why the fear-mongering, out of curiosity? It's a give-us-attention from a real business (ArtCraft) with a long running product, not some weird hacker group releasing binaries on a torrent. Cloning and building the product is trivial. Lots and lots of eyes are looking at this project right now, and thus far I've heard not an iota of concern.

FWIW, I did my own once-over of the project, and then had Fable and Opus 5.5 do an end to end, and there is nothing concerning about it that I've seen
