This is not just your first impression. GIMP sucks even after long term usage in terms of usability - windows scattered over the whole desktop, overlapped toolbox windows, incredibly stupid archane file dialog, the gtk slowness etc..
However, there is a hope: the KDE's Krita program is the step in the right direction, it has just to catch up in features.

Subject: Re: Re: [OT] Drawing a rectangle with Gimp
It's a pity people have to ask around before they can draw a
rectangle with a graphics program. I had the same question. I
haven't come across a less intuitive windows program than
GIMP. I know I am commenting based on my quick first
impression and criticizing a free tool. But what good is
"free" if it's not usable.
Why port such a tool to windows when there are $29 programs
that are actually usable? Tool palettes hide behind the main
window!!?
