I would like some basic drawing tools added to the toolbox. Most, if not all of the things in the GFig 

editor would be helpful. Yes I know some things such as the "move down" would not be possible 

(except for layers, which is already in). I feel GIMP lacks the basics. these could be added in the 

toolbox so you can real-time draw basic shapes.

*Rectangle: draw a rectangle. Either its edges, inside or both. And options such as aspect ration, 

XYWH could be added as well.
*Eclipse: draw an eclipse. Either its edges, inside or both. And options such as aspect ration, XYWH 

chould be added as well.
*Arc: draw an arc. Click1 is first point. click2 is radius/offset. click3 is last point.
*polygon: draw a polygon. Either its edges, inside or both. And options such as aspect ration, XYWH , 

number of sides (3-###) and rotation could be added as well.
*Taper: add taper to the option box. Just like the "fade brush", their needs to be a taper option. As in, 

the brush size shrinks over distance.

If these have already been planned or added, sorry. I couldn't find in a search.
