Created attachment 365970 The suggested default workspace
Due to the GIMP's workflow logics the Tool Options window is essencial. What about the gradients window seems to me it is used rarely however it is on the foreground in the left bottom layer. To make GIMP easier to undertand for new users I suggest to move the Tool Options window to the left bottom space and put it to the foreground. So the bottom left stack will look like this: Brushes, Palettes, Gradients, Gradient Editor, Palette Editor, Tool Presets, Tool Options. What about the space in the top right I suggest to put the Navigation window to the foreground. By my opinion this makes the best ergonomical experience for a new user.
