I've been using DxO Optics Pro 9, which is the predecessor to DxO Photolab.
I don't have any cameras more advanced than the K-3, which is supported, so I haven't seen any pressing need to upgrade.
It does a very fine job of rendering RAW files. I do find the default rendering to be a bit dark, so I have to do a fair bit of adjustment, and sometimes manage to overdo it.
The major shortcoming I've found is that at least with the Optics Pro UI you don't have the facility to step back to all that much when you make adjustments and sometimes have to start over from the beginning which isn't all that easy either now that I think about it.
I suspect that there may be sufficient changes to the UI between Optics Pro, and Photolab, so that maybe I'm not qualified to recommend it, but the UI isn't any more difficult to get used to than any other. Hope this helps.
