What and where is this ui? I know of imgflo. Is there another? I see a 
Tool->Gegl Operation in Gimp 2.9, but this seems to be a one time, one 
operation, irreversible thing, with broader reversible node editing only 
in the fullness of time, according to Gimp's roadmap.


I've written a minimally functional gegl ui that works in Laidout:

It's very new and not remotely tested enough! It currently can import 
and export gegl xml files. It can also import SVG filters (still working 
on export, and mapping to gegl nodes).

My intention is to have this node ui usable, if possible, at least via a 
plugin to Gimp (for instance). I'm doing a workshop at the upcoming 
Libre Graphics Meeting about nodes in FOSS to further explore issues 
involved.
