I have used darkroom, and also used another open source product called "digikam". Still more of a jpeg shooter tho

I'm presuming GIMP is still in the running and a handy parallel program to work alongside DarkTable in the same way Photoshop is used with Lightroom.

Do people still use PhotoShop or was it replaced by Lightroom? I'm getting the impression that it's too late for me to make the "digital leap". Way too much to learn from when I first started learning about digital. Did film photography for many years, but didn't have digital equipment. JPEG is no longer used? What is the newer format being used now?

Yes, Lightroom is basically a combination of Adobe Camera RAW for processing RAW files and Bridge which is a file handling platform.
Anyone shooting jpg really need not worry about post processing as the camera does that for you, with jpg leaving little to no production decisions to the shooter, although quite often, misrepresentation of a scene. JPG cameras are the Kodak Brownies/Instamatics of days gone by.
With any of the various RAW formats there is more freedom in image processing akin to the darkroom days, where only the final image itself is often saved as a jpg in srgb format, output for now restricted by the outdated printing or monitor standards which need to catch up to the better colour profiles available.

I've been playing with this. I'm not totally sold, but it looks promising. It lacks some of the editing functions I use in Gimp, or (LOL) I have not found them yet.

Darktable and Digikam are free photo editing programs? Would one of them be able to add watermarks to some .jpgs that some of my film photos were converted to? Remove a piece of dust on one of them? Easy to learn?

ImageMagick will do quick and easy watermarking and is much simpler than using an editing program.
