I like Raw Therapee but the pain it puts me through to make local adjustments has singlehandedly ruined the process of making finer edits.

I get that this program is made possible by volunteers who do great work for nothing - big thanks to them. But the idea of deliberately avoiding the user-friendly masking methods used in other software *and then* calling that a feature, sounds like cope.
I don't want to enable the AI-data-scraping machine that is Adobe, so is there any alternative with comparable masking tools?
