Can we have a section in Gimp's FAQ about why the Gimp does not directly copy Photoshop?

How many times will it take before people realize how much work it
would be to add and support different modes in the user interface?
It's simply not worth it, especially since it is a widely accepted
fact in user interface design that such modes are a bad idea.

We can improve the GIMP UI and it will improve. But if you really
think that the only acceptable user interface is a perfect clone of
Photoshop, then why don't you go ahead and start a project that aims
to create such a clone?

I am primarily a KDE hacker. I already donate piles of time to that effort, including writing docs. I use Gimp almost every day, but I hear it continuously about the need to have it at least have a PS compatibility mode, from graphic designers who would love to use it.
