I agree that the GIMP needs a new GUI, but why not simply have a single app with a GUI that can be reconfigured for different personalities? The Eclipse project calls these "perspectives". The application would come with several pre-configured GUI perspectives. The user can also custom configure their own perspective. Unfortunately, Eclipse is written in Java, so it's dog-slow and not very portable; otherwise, I'd suggest writing a GIMP plug-in for Eclipse.
And please, oh please, don't let them follow Adobe's example for user interfaces. I hate all those floating toolbars.
