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.
My bad, I meant vkdt.

A vulkan-powered image processing software. The OP mentions it in his post

> I've realized moving 30k+ photos from Lightroom is not likely a thing.
If it helps, I built this [1] to extract xmp sidecars from the LR database.

LightZone is still very much being maintained - albeit by one developer.
There's an effort underway to recover the original web site, but the domain name owner disappeared a while ago, which complicated things.
Agreed on the paradigms around stacking / ordering & non-destructive workflows used in Lightzone. It's my preferred photo touching-up software for similar reasons.
