Thanks for all the great information, Floyd. I haven't been using UFRaw as I thought it was broken. I'll spend some time with it and see if I can get a better grasp on its nuances.
It takes time to catch the significance of many of it's features. One of the primary advantages of the way much of the Linux software is designed is because it is well thought out for an advanced user, but that makes the learning curve steeper too. Much of the "advantage" claimed for Windows and Mac users is because software can be designed to make it easier for a new user. That is wonderful while you are a new user, without critical needs...
mac/win software is designed for users of all levels.
it offers easy ways for a newbie to get started and get useful results, while also offering the power and features that advanced users need.
unlike linux software, it's not intentionally hard to use, mainly so that geeks can talk down to others, as you do.
you've never used a mac or windows system more than casually and certainly haven't used any of the image processing software available, notably photoshop and lightroom, so you haven't any inkling of a clue what they can and cannot do. you are talking out your ass.
