CMYK is pretty important to people that actually send jobs to printers for flyers, brochures, marketing materials, etc.
True, but if you are doing that, then you are probably, well, making money from Photoshop, like the previous poster said.
There seems to be this strange mindset with the Gimp developer community that RGB is the only game in town
It's not so much that as it is that there are issues with licensing and patents, especially regarding Pantone.
Glad to see you agree; GIMP isn't a replacement for Photoshop, it's a replacement for Elements.
The problem is that people use Photoshop, a complete and mature set of editing tools designed for people who know what a wratten number is (which is why I've never needed a photoshop class/book, though I've no doubt I would benefit from one), often used at levels between Elements and MS Paint. And that is the user the GIMP developers code for. And the reason otherwise bright people claim that GIMP is a replacement for Photoshop; they conflate poor use of software with the software itself.
There are pieces in my (well, one) fine art portfolio that one simply can't make in GIMP. Claiming that it's "limitless" (not directed at parent - he sounds like he knows what he's talking about) is intellectually dishonest. I would love real competition for Adobe, but alas.
Who are they trying to protect from this bad user experience?
The Android brand.
I think that ship has sailed.

iPad is great, but a bit too closed for my tastes. I'll just have to suffer a few months longer...
You poor thing... Such suffering, having to use a device that you happen not to like. You know what, being a kind and altruistic soul, I'll rescue you from your unimaginable misery by reluctantly accepting your iPad, free of charge.
