GIMP has had its own help browser before yelp even existed. Now we ported it to a different render engine. That doesn't mean that we would not be willing to drop maintaining our own help browser if that would be an option. Overall yelp is a lot more powerful than the GIMP help-browser and it is also more actively developed. That's not the point. What's really missing is a Free Desktop standard that defines how an application can ask the desktop help system to show help for a specific topic. That's what a help system is about. The browser is just a minor component of that.
