Well, this is not exactly a top-10 list because some of them havesub-cases, but hopefully you can get something out of this list.  Itried to order this with the most important first.
1) (by far) Single window interface, a.k.a. MDI.   Note that there are two cases (Window-in-window MDI and Tabbed MDI)   that are probably mutually exclusive.  Each option has its advantages   and drawbacks, and each has its supporters who usually reject the   other proposal:   1a) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7379   1b) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121087
2) Adjustment layers   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79025
3) Layer trees or layer groups   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86337
4) Avoid popup dialogs for tools, file plug-ins, etc.   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85579   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319963
5) Organize brushes, palettes, gradients... in categories   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119874   ...and make it possible to delete or hide the default ones   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118742
6) Save for web   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98017
7) Better printing support   (colors, one image on multiple pages, multiple images per page, ...)
8) Improvements to the text tool   8a) Support for multiple styles (font, size, color, ...)       http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122706   8b) Applying transformations on text       http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125144   8c) Text along path       http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169616   8d) Adjustable letter spacing       http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331952
9) Painting with "natural brushes" / simulate natural media   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65118
I probably forgot some, but I suppose that you will get severallists so you can have fun merging them.  Note that I did not listseveral frequently requested features that have only a minorimpact on the user interface, such as support for 16-bit colors(as you mentioned), support for spot colors, better color profiles,better metadata support, etc.
