Why would you want to do it this way? Just work with us to improve the
standard UI. That means a better user experience for all users and much
less hassle and maintainance work than making such things optional.
We will not work towards making GIMP more like Photoshop but that
doesn't mean that we aren't willing to make drastic changes to the user
interface. Perhaps you should discuss your ideas with the team working
on the redesign of the GIMP user interface ( http://gui.gimp.org). We
will appreciate your help when it comes to implementing these changes.

layer modes: we understand the power, but there is also something horribly wrong with it; the best a user can do is scroll through the list of modes and see what happens, and that is not being in control of your tool; any workflow that includes a layer mode for rather straightforward goals indicates an interaction problem we have to solve;
Just keep the layer modes. Users don't know exactly what can happen, but they do have an idea (this comes from personal experience). I use layers with just one color and layer modes for special effects. Also, I even have a batch of 3 layer modes used after scanning black and white drawings (sure this can be done using a new "enhance tool" but it is not necessary). The photomanipulations that I make ( http://zensui.deviantart.com/gallery/digitalart/photomanip/) wouldn't be possible without layer modes.
