Hi, Long it was, for sure. Sorry but if you don't want the GIMP UI to evolve and change, don't upgrade to new versions. Basic rules of interaction design applies to both open source and commercial projects. Now, open source and commercial projects can have completely different goals, and often have, but basic rules of interaction design still applies. With all due respect it to me sounds like you have not looked into interaction design at all and is just ranting based on your highly personal preferences. Looking into the world of interaction design will give you valuable insights. I recommend you to read the book "The Inmates Are Running the Asylum" by Alan Cooper. It is not a handbook on how to design interactive systems, but more of an eye-opener of what's wrong with todays products and processes as far as interaction design goes. In that book he addresses a lot of the points you are making.
