Very interesting and thanks for your work.
What is 'hyper commercial'? Googling for it led me to a truck rental in 
South Africa ...*hmm*
To me it seems the beginners or 'average users' are not targeted by this 
vision, are they? Or haven't they just been considered _yet_?
To speak for myself, I'm doing graphical art and photo editing, but just 
for fun and in my sparetime. I wouldn't claim to be a professional. And 
I think there are a lot more people in just this situation. What would 
be the benefit for one 'like us' to contribute to GIMP? Will we/they 
benefit automatically from a redesigned UI?

Best regards,
