@LegoBrickOnFire@plateee For raster layers, yes (at the moment). You can do non-destructive transforms on vector layers and link layers (so you could add an external PNG/JPEG/SVG/etc to a composition as a layer and then non-destructively transform it).
Transforms are really a filter under the hood, so we have the infrastructure to make them all non-destructive. Just need to work on the UI elements. :)
I hoped someone would correct me and tell me I am stupid and that of course GIMP has nondestructive transforms and then procede to explain how. I guess that trick doesn’t always work :p
Because Photoshop is far superior to gimp for… reasons? But Photoshop costs $$$$$, so this is like free.

Honestly, the only thing not to like about GIMP is the name. There was a fork a while ago, but that closed down.
Non-destructive transforms not existing is definitely a thing not to like about GIMP

Nowadays you can do per-layer post-processing filters without baking

it does always work!
…if you’re wrong!
And pixel management.
But Krita somehow fulfills that, configured correctly.
There are also the high seas for those who want to sail! Old shops are very good, no ai stuff.
