That is the point. I don't try to convince someone using "my way". Why
everyone and else here try to put this badge on me?! I'm just saying
'The UI is ugly' because this and that. If  someone is happy with this
UI or with scripts it doesn't make it not ugly. If I will use 5
keyboard shortcuts (this what I do when there is more than 10 images)
then this too will not make UI not ugly! Why? Because there are some
de facto standards for such graphical applications like Gimp that are
expected from *vastly* more people than you are here. The toolbar is
inalienable part of these standards. This is real bottleneck here that
spoils the impression of the program. Again, if you are happy with
this program that doesn't negates this truth.
