Heal tool selection plugin
It was a long time ago now but I distinctly remember having to watch videos to learn how to do things in Photoshop.
IMO Gimp will always get flak about the UI not matching Photoshop, rather than the other way around, for the simple reason that users are always switching in that direction. I haven't heard of anyone ditching GIMP for Photoshop.
