Well, this is not exactly a top-10 list because some of them have
sub-cases, but hopefully you can get something out of this list. I
tried to order this with the most important first.
1) (by far) Single window interface, a.k.a. MDI.
Note that there are two cases (Window-in-window MDI and Tabbed MDI)
that are probably mutually exclusive. Each option has its advantages
and drawbacks, and each has its supporters who usually reject the
other proposal:
1a) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7379
1b) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121087
2) Adjustment layers
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79025
3) Layer trees or layer groups
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86337
4) Avoid popup dialogs for tools, file plug-ins, etc.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85579
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319963
5) Organize brushes, palettes, gradients... in categories
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119874
...and make it possible to delete or hide the default ones
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=118742
6) Save for web
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98017
7) Better printing support
(colors, one image on multiple pages, multiple images per page, ...)
8) Improvements to the text tool
8a) Support for multiple styles (font, size, color, ...)
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122706
8b) Applying transformations on text
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125144
8c) Text along path
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=169616
8d) Adjustable letter spacing
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=331952
9) Painting with "natural brushes" / simulate natural media
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65118
I probably forgot some, but I suppose that you will get several
lists so you can have fun merging them. Note that I did not list
several frequently requested features that have only a minor
impact on the user interface, such as support for 16-bit colors
(as you mentioned), support for spot colors, better color profiles,
better metadata support, etc.
