When I started using the GNOME mail program, evolution, I sent out a lot of messages before I had finished editing them, by mistake, and eventually realised that the keystroke for "send immidiately without asking for confirmation" in evolution was the same as "go back to the top of the message to review your draft" in Sun mailtool that I had used years earlier. The programs were similar enough I was trying to do things without even realising it that were different. There was (or is) a fork of GIMP called gimpshop that tried/tries to be more like PhotoShop, but it still won't have adjustment layers, and it will still be better at rotating than photoshop :-) (I love the "revese grid" mode). So I'd urge you to start by writing up more carefully what changes you think would be most helpful and why, and why they would either benefit non-PhotoShop users or at least not have a negative impact on existing GIMP users.
