@Matthew Paul Thomas I've also tried unclutter and for me it's a good compromise. 1) in open office cursor disappear nearly immediately (between 1 or 2 seconds) and this is very very comfortable when typing. If you move the mouse or change current application (with alt+tab switcher or something else) mouse cursor reappear. 2) in firefox cursor disappear both when reading something and when typing (in awesome bar or search bar) 3) in gimp I've your behavior but for me it's not distracting because mouse disappear only if you don't use it for a little gap of time (2 seconds I think)
In my opinion unclutter it's a good application that enhance the user experience. One possibility would be to have an option on system>preferences>mouse to enable or disable the "unclutter behavior", so any user can eventually change it.
