Restore lights Darktable vs Rawtherapee

hello in the round
darktable in comparison rawtherapee
a technical question
I try and play with both programs a little longer both programs I like.
Of the possibilities of attitudes and masks I like darktable better.
what I do not understand is that in rawtherapee about tonemapping the lights can save much better.
Why is that not so good in darktable or am I just too stupid.

Perhaps look at this “darktable trick”, mentioned by @davidvj, and play with it. I’d say that the module requires a quite gentle approach.
