Open RAW image files in GIMP

Is there any plugin for GIMP to edit RAW photo files? I tried ufraw which is quite popular, but its GUI sucks to the degree of being unusable. Moreover, I want to edit my files in GIMP, using GIMP tools that I am used to, not in ufraw-like plugin. Any ideas? I am not interested in stand-alone applications like i.e. Raw Therappe. My goal is to edit RAW files in GIMP the same way as any other image file.

          Install package gimp-dcraw. This is simple plugin that uses dcraw to decode RAW files and pass them to GIMP. All editing like colors, tone curves, stamps etc. are done with GIMP built-in editing tools, plugin only asks for optional decoding parameters.

            The Darktable snap package can also edit raw images and it has much better color accuracy than GIMP with the gimp-dcraw plug-in. I've also tried opening raw images in Krita image editor and the colors in Krita aren't true to the original image either. Darktable beats all the other image editors that I tested for color accuracy hands down.
