If only! Take an over- or under-exposed photo and try to correct it in Lightroom and Darktable. Lightroom is able to recover far more detail from those regions than Darktable. No idea how, but it can. Everything else is far better in Darktable, but edit quality is all that really matters in the end.
What I like about Darktable is vastly superior color uniformity and handling, and its tone equalizer module that allows for visual zoning control; it replaces most 3rd party plugins for Photoshop. PS really feels more and more outdated at this point for the de facto most popular software for photo manipulation, since it doesn't include modern tools and you have to construct massive workarounds or buy additional plugins.
What I dislike about Darktable is lack of persistent masking; currently all masks are generated by previous modules in the pixelpipe, so going back in editing can alter the mask.
