You get me wrong! I don't say to program it into the core, I am just suggesting, that GIMP should already be shipped with all the required stuff (third-party libraries/plug-ins) that's needed to open/write raw files, instead of depending on software, that has to be downloaded/installed separately.

RAW support is a very important and common feature for a graphics editor and should be provided by the main product itself (my opinion). Especially, because 64-bit builds of GIMP are currently in the testing phase and you can't count on third-party developers to release a compatible version of their plug-ins.
