For what it's worth I was trying to stay neutral - after all, the Krita people I met at LGM a few years ago were really friendly :-) - but I don't like this feature either, especially as the start-up dialogue was larger than my laptop screen. There might be ways, though, to improve GIMP's oob experience and I do agree it's worth some thought. Starting with a blank image, like a Word processor or Inkscape, would help, but that only works if switching to a different image precision is easy and lossless, for example. So I think the time is not quite yet for this line of thought.
