Lightroom killer? :-)

Don't know if this has been posted before but just discovered a RAW photo editing package called darktable. It is spelled with a lower case d :-) It is open sourced and costs $0.00. I am trying it now and have read a few reviews. Most say it's not yet as polished as Lightroom but offers all the features. For those who don't want to pay the Adobe subscription fee it might be worth a look now or some time later as it continues to improve. Here's the link:

Darktable has been around for quite some time. Ten years, in fact.
Another popular free RAW editor is RawTherapee:

So can these free RAW PP software programs run on all your MAC, MacBook, iPad Pro, iPhone, and does it have a "creative cloud" to get your photos across any of your devices?

I don't know if Lightroom can get my photos in their "Creative cloud" if I get out my HP notebook computer, (if I had Lightroom on it). I just don't know if "Creative Cloud" works across platforms, (Windows or MAC)

They have both been around. And compared to each other.
RawTherapee almost always comes out on top.
