I guess the GIMP's UI makes sense if you are some alien brainiac who is also trying to avoid patent infringement lawsuits or something? Or you just! Do! Not! "Get"! Usability! (At! All!). It sure as heck often doesn't make diddly sense to me other than as a fine example of cramming in a zillion Ways Not To Do It in a single program.

But, yes, on the whole, my life is better with it than without it, that is for sure.
