Now that's funny. I'm a MyPaint developer, and I know this discussion, but
with opposite signs.  MyPaint only supports what GIMP calls incremental
painting, and users are asking again and again that we implement
non-incremental painting.  Just look at the recent discussion here:

http://forum.intilinux.com/mypaint-help-and-tips/same-stroke-overlap/

Btw. I completely and heartily agree with the "predictability" argument. But
it would be complete nonsense to remove this feature from GIMP, it's
oviously something very useful also for painting.
