My version of what it is: "Action Search (aka TITO) is valuable to gimp users because it provides easy access to moderately used features of the gimp without memorization of the gimp's menu layout or keyboard shortcuts." Even experienced power users won't know (shouldn't be forced to memorize) where *everything* is located. Now, they only need to know the name.
