> expectations that come from using other image editors

Or have expectations that...make sense? The way GIMP represents layers is unintuitive, at best.

There are some de-facto tools (Adobe Photoshop, etc.) that have paved the way for intuitive UX in this space - no need to re-invent the wheel in areas that are well-established by now.

Even editor like photoimpact which appears about 20 years ago works almost the same way about the draw layer. You just draw anywhere on the whole canvas, that's it.

And if you want something that has specific size and resizable and can be placed out of canvas. Use object instead.

Why would gimp even resist to make draw layer that have specific size at first place?
