The multi-window thing would be fine, but why does each window need a button on my taskbar? On both Windows or Linux, doing any serious work in GIMP destroys my taskbar's usefulness. Then, which windows are on top of other windows is never what I expect, even after years of using GIMP. In my opinion a multi-window image program is the way to go, but GIMP's implementation of it is not. (P.S. I think Apple's Interface Builder's multi-window implementation is much much worse, however.)
