Interview with Øyvind Kolås, GIMP developer
There's a third-party theme called PhotoGIMP which changes the layout and shortcuts to match Photoshop: https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP
Longterm, we have a roadmap item for an Extensions platform: https://developer.gimp.org/core/roadmap/#extensions
So basically, you could download plug-ins, themes, shortcut presets, etc, directly into GIMP. We have a lot of pieces done - we just need someone to focus on it to finish.

GIMP 3.0 finally has a release schedule
I used to use PhotoShop heavily and still have a lot of the UI muscle-memorized. I switched to GIMP + https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP and found it mostly fits my needs for basic image editing.

Is this radical redesign of GIMP possible now?
There's also photoGimp:
https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP
But it's interesting if we can get FOSS Gui toolkits that allow for different approaches to menu/toolbar/discovery where the user can easily adjust and select how things should work - like readline Emacs/vi selection on steroids for Gui.

Creating my own ecosystem.
I doubt it, code needs to be maintained , even if you will get stuck on old libraries you could miss out on features and improvement, of course if the changes are small and it's more like a patchset (something like photogimp) , that might be more feasible.
