Personally, I am glad to learn from your correspondence so far that 
there is a substantial experience, skill and a keen eye behind your 
opinion. My eloquence is oftentimes substandard and yes, from my humble 
experience, verbal communication can be very misleading when discussing 
interactions.

Rudeness aside, we should keep an open mind. So, if you would be so 
kind, time permitting of course, please contribute at least a simplest 
sketch that clearly articulates the toolbars you have in mind. Add text, 
diagrams, animations, comics, color coding, acting, anything that would 
help me/us to understand your idea of workflow. It would be awesome if 
you could put that sketch in coherence with current GIMP efforts and 
other GIMP functions. Try imagining various scenarios (there are some 
GIMP user scenarios online you can use) that show how your idea would 
help other people achieve more, too. Try to imagine how can a person 
manage the toolbars (both on-screen and in a sense of creating, storing, 
'juggling'). Jump over to user mailing lists or forums, see how your 
idea flies, consider the praises and critique rationally...

With so much experience and bravado, it will be the easiest thing to do. 
And will not take a lot of your time, I am sure.

Until then, add me to those magical 7.

Cheers,

Alex
