Those... are not "pro-quality" things but cheap gimmicks.

Good that they're introducing non-destructive editing! I've long moved to DarkTable for photo editing. Photo editing never seemed like GIMP's goal.

Gimp does seem to be half way between a photo editor and a drawing/painting program.

For me, the swiss-army knife approach they support is good enough. And it saves me from having to wrangle two or three other tools.
