There is a "photoshop UI" GIMP plugin that you could use if you prefer the layout/have muscle memory, but admittedly that's not a perfect solution. It is cheaper tho.

    Yeah, but that project isn’t really getting the attention it deserves. Part of me wants to contribute, but I’m totally swamped with a million side things.

    Also, at least for something like this feels like hack more than anything. Maybe its not, i did not look inside the code. But just from outside I would assume that would break with every GIMP release and even if not it would never feel "right".
