David, It seems to me that with your needs and wants and attitude, you are better off just buying and using Photoshop. You must remember that with FOSS like the GIMP, sometimes you need to invest your own time into making it work in your workflow... like finding another package to handle your RAW files, and then importing them into the GIMP. If you absolutely need and demand all the these things now, then just go with the commercial product, and don't worry about the GIMP.
