I think some of the "gimmicks" could be useful (and remain professional): # any splash-screen-like graphics or interaction, or GIMP contributor credits; A fairly small, horizontal graphic that is very similar to the initial start-up splash screen is not only more interesting, but also ties the window to the application. If for example the window becomes partially obscured while a user is opening their file manager to begin dragging a file, they can readily identify the portion that is still visible. # any 'what would you like to do today' type of interaction, including 'recently open images'; I consider a list of recent images and a list of templates to be functional. As long as these can be configured easily or disabled I see no reason to rule it out completely. Something for "Paste as New" would be handy - any of these would cut down on the number of clicks/menus needed to perform the most common tasks. The spec seems well thought out but I think that this window could do more for the user. Perhaps not right now, but I wouldn't rule those two out for all time.
