Rawstudio is an open source raw-image converter.
Rawstudio can read and convert RAW-photos from many different cameras, including Nikon and Canon. Rawstudio uses dcraw.
It has a graphical user interface, so you can simply open a RAW file and experiment with the controls to see how they effect the image. Rawstudio has a very simple architecture which is optimized for ease of use and therefore should be intuitive to most photographers.
