You consider a proper text tool in the core feature-creep? I find that odd. Every major player in this software category implements a tool of this sort as a matter of course and in the core. Do you VERY rarely use text in GIMP? Granted, you do mention a plugin, but if you make it a plugin, it will not be as fast or as straightforward to use, almost like an afterthought. Should the user really have to open a plugin window just to add a word? Modularity is great, but text ranks on the order of a paintbrush tool in importance IMHO.
