The Gimp 2.4 was released today and it includes a number of new features, like scalable brushes, align tool, new selection tools, color Management and soft-proofing, Red Eye removal and much more. Unfortunately, there is still no 16bit per pixel support, which is useful for digital photography editing.

2.4 _has_ some important additions, for example (finally!) you can create/modify selections like using a brush.
The problem of The Gimp is just developers, developers, developers... err there aren't any. To be serious, you can count the main Gimp contributors using one hand.
Talk to them and they will tell you the same old story: "Yeah we always try to improve our GUI, but we don't have time to overhaul everything at once, would you perhaps like to do it?"
To solve the problem with slow pace development, missing features, etc., The Gimp just needs to attract more developers. For example, they could try to participate with Google Summer Of Code...
