Very good information to know.
I think the main reason I have not and likely will not change GIMP k/b shortcuts to match PS is simple enough. It keeps them fresh enough in my mind where I can comfortably use GIMP on any system/OS without having to remember defaults I ditched long ago. Just a few weeks ago I helped a friend install GIMP on their Windows laptop and walked them through some of the basics like layer masks, quickmasks, etc. with some images they had in mind for a little project.
I had more difficulty than I cared for just with the basic shortcuts on GIMP, and and at the time it had been some time since I had tried anything serious with anything but PS.
