So apparently I'm not the only one annoyed at how RawTherapee was basically abandoned... one developer (agriggio) was not happy with the direction of the project so he created a "fork" based on the fact that this code is all GNU Open Source, and released ART. It's based on all the RawTherapee modules, with some added (yay! Finally local edits and spot removal) and some taken out (mostly the Wavelets that I didn't use anyway).
Things seem to be a bit more logically laid out. Will I like it? Time will tell. I do miss having a dedicated saturation slide but time will tell (maybe they have been moved and I haven't found them yet?).
The page with an option to download is
agriggio / ART / wiki / Home ? Bitbucket
And of course, it is as free and open-sourced as RawTherapee.
