Usability does not mean "make it like Photoshop"

"After starting it the first thing you'll notice is an additional empty image window appearing next to the toolbox. This is part of GIMP's UI restructuring,"

There are a lot of things in Gimp's UI that are broken and need fixing, but this was not one of them. If no image has been opened, it is perfectly reasonable not to open an (empty) image window.

Suggestion to the Gimp team: instead of mindlessly changing the UI to be more like Photoshop's, why not listen to reasoned comments from users who bring up realistic use cases?
