Eh, these are legitimate criticisms, but despite its warts GIMP is solid once you stop trying to use it like PS and learn to use it like GIMP. The layer size thing is weird though. Layers should automatically expand, and this is not difficult to implement if you store the layers as tiles (which it should be doing anyway, since many layers are mostly empty space that doesn't have to be stored and repainted if you discard empty tiles).
