As a Lightroom alternative, Darktable has quickly become a good replacement for me. I used to be a non-believer but turns out I just wasn’t used to it enough. It now has a healing brush at least as good (probably better^) as Lightroom, advanced perspective correction tool etc besides masking tools and other basics of course.

+1 to Darktable, it's an amazing piece of software.

Lately I have been using RawTheRapee [1] for most of my photo editing needs. It's simpler and less flexible than Darktable, but I get better results in less time unless I need some very specific editing. Also RawTheRapee's noise reduction and sharpening are better than Darktable's.
