Wow, Lightzone is a very quick RAW processor.
I like it a lot so far. Unfortunately I dont have enough time in the next few days but will certainly test more.

I downloaded the Mac beta and it looks a bit loosely Dooley. I'm waiting for the new Mac Ver due this month

BTW:  It seems to handle Fuji XP1 and XE1 images very nicely.

Not ready for prime time...needs helper apps etc

Good news on the Fuji support

The capture one 6 I mentioned yesterday does not support them but it will allow you to upgrade to 7 for $69

Yes I use Capture One Pro v7 as it supports the Fuji cameras. 
However it is not very quick at processing large batches of RAW files.

I could never get the capture one 7 trial to work due to some conflict with an old capture one 5 that I bought and removed years ago.

I was under the impression that the capture one 7 required making catalogs the way LR does. I just played with Capture one express 6 and it seems to let you retain your file structure and doesn't mandate an import to a catalog??? Does 7 actually work like that, too?

There are now free downloads available for LightZone.
This is a very good software and works on Windows, Mac and Linux.

It is free and supports all the latest cameras.
