I use Darktable all the time, but they recently upgraded it and all my familiar controls have changed, moved of both!  I also use GIMP a lot for simple resizing / cropping / saving to other formats - it can also do mods to the image.

I usually shoot in manual mode because I want to be able to control depth of field with the aperture/distance bearing in mind the sharpness of the lens which usually maxes out around f5.6 - f8 and shutter speed- I leave ISO on auto but keep an eye on it so it doesn't stray too high!
