GNUstep apps have a tendency to open lots of windows when you need to do things, very similar to how GIMP does, I'm not saying it's wrong, [...]
GIMP is not a GNUstep app and doesn't behave much like one.
I use GNUstep pretty much whenever I'm using X and apps don't usually need many windows open for work. There is a way to work with its user interface instead of against it, but that applies to woodwork tools as much as computer applications.
