This is exactly where data from Instrumented GIMP project could come
in handy: how layouts look for people who work on different things
(painting, photography, web design etc.). I'm afraid we cannot make a
reasonable decision without some big data in this case.

I don't understood this issue about 'big data'. Explaining a bit more the concept of the proposal, for me, the workspace profile is a user question... and not a GIMP question, essentially not in this stage. In this sense:

* one user has the own tasks and preferences how to do her/his tasks on GIMP;
* one user is capable to build her/his dockable tabs;
* one user can share with other users these experiences through the workspaces profiles.

Well, the profiles is only a way to simplify and to become more fast and efficient this process.
After is possible to collect the 'big data' to understand the needs of users and to do some official workspace profiles to GIMP.
