Ah, but it is nice to have the talents of a skilled comedian on this list. :-) Adjustment layers have to be in a future implementation of Gimp if we expect the tool to remain in any way competitive. Both Krita and Pixel, which have not been around for as long as the Gimp, support this feature already! I've read here that people are trying to hobble along with the duplicate/modify image technique, which I am forced of course to use as well. There are some severe problems with this: 1) When I pull the 10 mp images from my camera and try to make a composition, having several faux adjustment layers means consuming ginormous amounts of memory. 2) After altering a specific layer, I cannot go back and see/alter what I've done. My only recourse is to either delete the layer and add another or to hope that I can undo back to the point that I need. 3) Hand in hand with #1, my Gimp files become painfully large. I do not own a computer for the sole purpose of supporting the Gimp! Is there no way that the Gimp can leverage some of the work already done by the Krita folks? I'm afraid that if Krita/digiKam was to become integrated in the future, much of the need for the Gimp would simply go away.
