I also second this. I've been using GIMP on and off for occasional image editing for about 8 years now, and I still don't really grasp how do layers work in it.

I really wish it had Photoshop compatibility mode for hotkeys and behavior. The former is a very common tweak.

There is PhotoGIMP[1] that copies the hotkeys and tool layout. It doesn't replicate behaviour exactly obviously but it does make it actually usable for me as someone who used Photoshop a lot in the past, and was eternally confused by GIMP.
