"How many times have Gimp developers had a chance to sit down and observe professionals using their software and interacted with them while this was happening?"

I would think quite a few times. And they are helped by a profession interaction designer right now, and the improvements are staggering. I regularly compile gimp's git master, and it's getting better all the time.

But for the rest you're quite right, of course. It's why all graphics app projects went wild when David Revoy started giving feedback last year. It's so immensely useful.

All I can say is that any artists who tests Krita gets a spot in the About box!
