Non-code contributions are the secret to open source success
Just try Ansel. I saw this topic a while ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38390914
I am only familiar with his YouTube, and then this topic. https://github.com/aurelienpierreeng/ansel Here are his examples.
It seems 1:1 compatible when I switched.

Darktable: Crashing into the Wall in Slow-Motion
FWIW, here is the recent merged pull requests from darktable:
https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/pulls?q=is%3Apr+i...
At the moment, this is about a week's work by eight authors. Others cycle/in out, of course -- this is a spot sample. They range from bugfixes to performance improvements to documentation to translation work. All what one would hope for in a software project headed to its bi-annual release next month.
There are many ways to develop, and it may be a bit cruel to compare a one-man show to a long-term international collaboration. But here are the recently merged pull requests from the software which is posted about in the blog post:
https://github.com/aurelienpierreeng/ansel/pulls?q=is%3Apr+i...
On the first page, I see about five authors offering PR's over the course of all of 2023 -- a much slower pace of community development.
It appears that Ansel is being developed more by direct commits from its main author. So let's compare the recent commits:
https://github.com/aurelienpierreeng/ansel/commits/master
Page 1 of Ansel commits is by its mono-author from the last week. Page 2 takes us back to August. Page 3 back to June. I totally understand that good developers need to work carefully and sit on things, then release them in due time.
Here goes for darktable commits:
https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/commits/master
If we take a moment to page back to page 3, one can note that we're back to two weeks ago (rather than June). Steady work by a committed community matters. The log of work done is may be quite worth looking at, rather than incendiary blog posts.

Ansel
I tried for about 15 minutes and didn't get it to build. And even if it did, it would probably not be stable enough to use for anything productively.

Question regarding different versions in ubuntu
After writing this post, I realized there has been a little bit of drama regarding the new release, with a forked version on 4.0 by one of the main developers. This is sad but to the best of my judgement, this guy may have some valid points. I don't want to open a can of worms, but I guess I had to comment. I do wonder if it's worth trying the alternative.

Does DT have a similar option to edit secondary colors like this (from LR mobile)? I could only find RGB primary tools & a color graph which was really confusing to use.

Main dev that could use some donations
I didn't know that, thank you for the info. The fork is now called Ansel ( https://github.com/aurelienpierreeng/ansel )

darktable 4.2 released
Respect is a two way street. If you're ok with the tone in his video where he insults all the other darktable developers, but you're not ok with him being called an asshole, ask yourself why. If you need more reading, you can see https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/issues/13159#issuecomment-1356478876 or many of the other insulting comments. Or you can have a look at the history of https://github.com/aurelienpierreeng/ansel/ which contains even more insluting comments. He's an asshole, this is a statement of fact. He can change, sure, but he won't, sadly.

What software do you miss from Windows & macOS?
Yes. Sometimes I think I should have learned programming a bit more, but it's just not my kind of thing. Although, because of recent changes in darktable a developer made a fork. Had some valid points. https://github.com/Aurelien-Pierre/R-Darktable

probably nobody can crystal gazing here... however there is coloreq module made by AP, which wasn't merged and probably noone is working on it anymore but you can try yourself, there are few versions available, code here: https://github.com/flannelhead/darktable/commits/coloreq this however has few disadvantages compared to solutions above: - colors can't be sampled from the image - no customization of ranges, or anything so i would still prefer 'color balance rgb' as i may faster target the color and it's customized enough to be useful in my situation and when the color is already targeted, 'color balance rgb' can do so much more
