There actually is no problem. Arguably the problem is with the other RAW editors because they show you a ‘false’ starting point 
A lot of RAW editors have already applied some settings to the RAW file the moment you open them. darktable and RawTherapee show the RAW file as clean as possible (depends a bit on the settings you auto apply).
You will end up seeing a flat, somewhat washed out image and it will also show you the ugly clipped parts, sometimes in pink, when they exist.
I mentioned that the problem is with the other editors; That depends on how you approach your editing. I like my starting point to be as clean as possible and have only very few things that are applied automatically (very basic stuff like: lens corrections and demosaic).
There are ways to start with settings already applied in both darktable and RawTherapee. Some are in the preferences menu and some you can create and apply by yourself or automatically (you seem to be a darktable user: have a look at styles and presets)
Hope this answers your question.
