I'm sorry, but with the amount of exclamation marks you used, the general negative tone and your unwilingness to have a civil conversation it _really_ looks like you are short of vitamins. But that's the boring part really. Now, the interesting part is what users we should be catering to. You see, development of an application is a lot about focus, especially when you are as shorthanded as the GIMP team and deal with as huge code base as the one that GIMP has. We consider it crucial to satisfy the needs of advanced users in the first place. That involves studying their workflows (which we did in 2006 and then again in late 2011), working out strategies for further development, writing functional specs and, finally, writing the actual code. All of that is a huge amount of work, but we do it anyway. Your general point boils down to this: you picked the wrong tool and you are blaming us for not catering to your needs. If you don't see what's wrong with that attitude, then subsequent conversation is just meaningless. You are, of course, in your right to aggressively refuse checking facts and understanding what usability is about, but that's not the kind of behavior that's going to lead to a constructive discussion.
