For me, the most important feature of filmgimp/cinepaint is the
support for greater than 8 bits per color component (16 bit integer
and 32 bit floating point).

Last week I attended a public meeting chaired by the cinepaint project
lead.  I know very little about the reasons behind the cinepaint/gimp
split.  I do think it's unfortunate that the split is hindering the
development of an open-source image editing program combining the
richness and maturity of gimp 1.2/1.3/2.0 with the color precision of
cinepaint.
