I have recently migrated off Lightroom to Rawtherapee, and would recommend it to photographers serious about raw development. I don’t see myself going back, really. Open-source, plain-text profile format, works everywhere. Like Lightroom, it handles DNGs natively, but allows more control as you create your image from raw scene-referred data. Its GUI is somewhat laggier, but if you do a lot of batch processing you may be able to more than offset that by writing a simple script that delegates processing to your own cloud compute (it has a CLI tool, something Lightroom is unlikely to offer). Profile once, apply without having to launch the GUI.
