Being able to edit text, with a halo, drop-shadow or other
non-destructive automatically updated effect that provides contrast
against most backgrounds can be both tacky, and useful. It is possible
to achieve such things with GIMP today but it is laborsome and when
you for some reason need to change the text/copy, you've got even more
work in front out for you.
