Some people mentioned the need for vector layers. I think that, more generally, a distant goal should be object layers. That is, the possibility to embed a graphic object as a layer. For instance, an user might want to draw a pie chart, embed it as an object and apply nifty special effects on it. All the same, Gimp images should be embeddable as objects. What do you think? This of course means lots of work, and thus is more of a goal for 2.0...
