it doesn’t ultimately matter. i see neither a “user friendly” nor a “industry standard” UI on GIMP.
i’m also a sysdmin now, who sees the same tendencies as you just described, and have GIMP installed for an honest retry at 3.0. i have also studied UX as part of the formation i used to need photoshop for.
what it needs is for users and devs to stop being so stubborn about it and recognize its faults, and do like the Blender people did. its not good as it is, and people will keep wondering why everyone hates it until the status quo on it changes drastically.
its a shame because its very good software underneath the bad UX.
