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.

Sorry, I don't buy this. Look at Krita - much better GUI imho, there's nothing stopping the GIMP developers from taking advantage of the various improvements that Krita offers.
Maybe the GIMP developers should stop adding features for a while, and concentrate on the GUI, since it is an incredibly sore point with GIMP users. Fix that, forgo new features, then later on, worry about new features. Then there's gimpshop.
I think the real reasons are the same as with Blender - the main developers can't be bothered because they like the current GUI and have the attitude that if others don't like it, tough.
I really find it hard to swallow with some of the open source zealots - they'll bag the shit out of KDE cos it's 'over complicated' and 'has a poor UI', but they won't bag the darling of the Linux world - the GIMP. Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? It's one of the things that has really turned me off Linux - it's full of hypocrites. At least with Microsoft and Apple, you know where you stand.
