I have to disagree.

There are aspects of GIMP that require understanding its "layering"
model of operations.

There are quite a few things I can do with GIMP without understanding
layers, and, if the uses can be restricted to that, I could learn more
"just by fiddling with it."

But grokking the layer abstraction takes some understanding, whether
that come via a course or some other equivalent means.

You can fiddle almost infinitely with the menus and icon bars without
that providing an understanding of layers.  It takes something else to
provide that understanding...
