I did not say that it is hopelessly incapable. It's a very nice help
browser but it does not provide all the functionality that GIMP needs.

As long as there is no widely accepted and implemented Free Desktop
standard for a help system, applications like GIMP will have to continue
to invent and implement their own. I would very much welcome such a
standard and I can try to help if someone wants to work on such a beast.
