That is a conseguence of users being more demanding. They see some new
command, they find it useful for getting theirs job done, so they comes
here and ask for it in GIMP. That is true even in the other direction,
see for instance the liquid rescale plugin that arrived to Photoshop
_after_ GIMP. And the reason is that Photoshop is the only real photo
retouching product that can be compared to GIMP, for functions and
userbase.

So GIMP devs, hip hip hooray, go on the great job!
You will never know how some users are grateful to you!
