What's wrong with the GIMP UI? :-)

IMHO, it beats all versions of PhotoShop I've tried so far. If you go into the scripting/automation area (where PhotoShop up to 5.5 at least, has little to offer beyond simple batch image conversions), there simply is no competetion for GIMP, AFAIK.

Sure, some frequently used things could have smoother, but "fixing" that would come at a cost: Too many different "philosophies" in the same UI, and no sane person will be able to learn and remember the peculiarities of every tool.
