About this specific point, I believe that many of us want more features 
going "on-canvas" when possible.
In GIMP dev version, the filter are also previewed on-canvas (when 
implemented as GEGL operations). I already discussed that it would be 
very cool if import could end up with on-canvas preview as well at some 
point (especially useful with lossy formats, etc.). These are only 
passive canvas interaction, but I could imagine active interaction on 
the canvas too in the future, and no only for tools. :-)

Canvas interaction are often much more intuitive than through a dialog 
or a dock. And reproducing the image inside the dialog/dock is often 
more of a workaround than a solution in my opinion (though in some 
cases, it may have its good points).
