>"Perhaps the most welcome change to the UI is that the palettes (toolbox and docks in GIMP parlance) are now utility windows, which means that they won’t show up in your dock or task bar as separate windows"
Apparently it doesn't yet apply to the Windows build (I haven't tried), but they have fixed the two single biggest and most obvious GUI annoyances - multiple pointless and confusing menus and multiple windows in task-bar. Another one of the biggest requested features - CMYK support - is on its way. It's /long/ overdue, but Gimp is actually seems to be making huge strides in the right direction.
