i'm not a big fan of forks. they can get out of hand pretty quickly.
go take a browse through sourceforge sometime and see how man of the exact same projects exist.
it is uncanny how many times programmers will re-invent the wheel.
taking GIMP source, reworking it and massaging it into a better product sounds like a good idea, but you end up having two GIMPs. what purpose does that serve?
this is one of the biggest problems in Linux right now when looking at it as a viable desktop solution. what WM do you choose? do you go with GNOME or KDE and get that overall "windows/aqua" feeling? do you go more simplistic, yet hardcore and use Blackbox/Fluxbox/WM/enlightenmen... etc...??
as an open-source developer and advocate, i can safely say...sometimes choice is a bad thing.
