    It seems that it's not being developed anymore. Many of it's tools are now seen in other programs. Used to be something good, but the X7 version was quite slow.

    Not an alternative to Dark Table, it's more an Image viewer, though you can also input a lot of info, and it's used between journalists. But not an editor.
