There are actually a number of more-or-less node/graph-based image editors:

# chaiNNer

Fully node-based image processing.

# vkdt

Node-based raw and video editor. Sort of the evolution of darktable, by the original developer.

https://jo.dreggn.org/vkdt/readme.html

# darktable

The graph is strictly linear (single input, single output), but you can change the order of the processing and insert new nodes as you want.

Pretty sure there are some others, but those are the three I can remember right now.

Oldie but goodie is Nodebox[0] and for data-driven/dynamic compositing see Cables.gl[1]. Kirell Benzi's work uses the latter and is nothing short of breathtaking[2].

Natron is also pretty well-known, I think?

Are you asking if it's well known? I don't think it is actually used in any context, it is so unstable that if you start it and do nothing, it will crash in a few seconds.
