Our Mac version is still in beta, but about to be alpha. Our download pages for Win and Linux have more than 25,000 hits. There is also a French website devoted to LightZone, which is excellent but a bit out of date (we're hoping the owner will update this fall a bit.). There are several videos in French by a user. There's an active localization project going on, so we're working on more languages and hope also to get all the documentation translated, including our videos. It has been localized(program only so far) in several languages. There's a blog of sorts, forums with over 3,700 members, and is cross platform Win, Mac, linux. LightZone is an open source project with its own website. It's in 25 languages, they have forums and a blog, and is cross platform, Win, Mac, Linux. RawTherapee is an open source project with their own website. Lightzone is more flexible as far as we can see. LightZone allows users to build their own raw profiles, or tweak the existing ones. Both programs are probably equal in recovery operations, once you know how to use them properly (if you've actually blown your highlights, or totally blocked up your shadows, there's no magic solution anywhere.). LightZone is strongest in selective editing, contrast control, and B+W conversion. Raw Therapee seems to be strongest in detail extraction. LightZone is also pretty intuitive to use, much more visually oriented, Raw Therapee would appeal more to the engineering minded. LightZone is slightly(maybe) less good than Raw Therapee on the conversion side of things (in some cases, sort of-it would take a while to fully explain.), but goes much further than Raw Therapee on the editing side of things. RawTherapee is excellent for raw conversion, if a bit intense.
