There have been a lot of forks. Cinepaint, Gimpshop and Glimpse (RIP) come to mind. Unfortunately the reality is if people can barely pay attention and contribute to Gimp, what chance do any forks have? Gimp moves slowly but they do listen to their users. Lack of funding is more responsible for any complaints people have with Gimp, not some assumed "anti-Photoshop" idealism.
