""here is a massive amount of development going on.""

Although I wouldn't considure it massive, Gimp certainly is plodding along.

Right now certain Gegl is finally, after many years, starting to work well. When that is integrated into Gimp it will certainly make people reevaluate their own block-head-iness when they realise the reason they didn't like Gimp was more to do with their personal dependance on Photoshop's menu layouts rather then lack of 16bit colors, cymk, and 'RAW image format' support in current Gimp.

With the current development branch of Gimp it is certainly faster and more pleasent to use. I prefer it much over the current stable (I am using the version from Debian Experimental through the magic of apt-pinning)

Once 2.4 gets out the door then your probably going to see quite a bit of development regarding integrating Gegl.
