I'd have to disagree with this, and my most recent book on the GIMP goes to some effort to show you why. There are multiple chapters on graphical elements for web pages and designing user interface elements. I didn't cover icons because I'm not particularly good at icons and don't create them very often. But I've seen some extremely good icons developed with the GIMP. Just because there isn't a "one button click box" feature doesn't mean GIMP can't, or shouldn't, be used for this kind of work. In fact because it provides lower level access to processes like creating primitive shapes (specifically paths), it's ideally suited for this type of work. -- Michael J.
