I agree with improving functionality. We do we meed to do to bring up developement to the level of Blender 3D? Gimp needs a unified transform tool. Focus should better image handeling and faster tool based methods for artist.

"I am asking instead to the many enthusiast of GIMP that (I suppose) have

graphic capabilities than developers."

I am a graphic designer and I disagree with your premise that GIMP needs a
revamp to its "look". The world is full of products that have a great
"look"or are even "sexy" but don't deliver. GIMP delivers. I want software
that works and is stable.

? What is of far greater importance, IMHO, is functionality. Does it work as
advertised? Yes.
? Does it install easily? Is it stable? Critical to being accepted.
? Is the interface well-designed (absolutely critical for usability)? Mostly
(v 2.8).
? Does it have a good manual/help system? Yes, once you get used to it.
? Can the manual be better? Yes.
? Can the appearance of the GUI be changed to suit the user? In other words
does it have an option to get rid of that gawd-awful flat black livery.
Hopefully.

Cosmetic changes are a waste of time.
Focus on functionality and the GUI.

I am not asking the developers to carry on this task, they have to invest
their time in coding and make GIMP more and more valid.
