I use Photoshop regularly (over 18 years) and earlier this year I gave GIMP another honest 2-3 week try. There are some big conceptual differences, but the small things like it not remembering what folder you last loaded images from slowed me down too much.

A lot of "professional" apps have these kinds of problems. MS Word 2013 refuses to remember the folder where you last exported a PDF; each time you do it, you have to navigate there or give a full path. These sort of thing is more or less easily fixed if someone does the grunt work. Chances are the app internally has a nice object for representing a persisted global variable such as an option; it just has to be actually used as the value of the path when opening that dialog.
