I don't see why everyone finds the floating windows bothersome, it always made rearranging them the way I like much easier for pretty much any set of tools I want, and it permanently saves the window positions so I won't have to rearrange them again later. Although I will admit I was a bit turned off by that at first, after using Photostudio 4 for so long. (Which has an interface similar to Photoshop's.)
But I didn't want to fork out more than what my refurbed desktop machine was worth five times over just for CS5, and an installer patch I tried that gave GIMP a single window mode wasn't compatible with GIMP 2.6, so I kept at it with the UI until now it's all I know! =P After all this time, now it feels kinda odd for Artweaver/Photoshop/Photostudio to lock all of its windows into the main one.
There's more than one binary installer for anyone on Windows wanting to try it out, iirc, but obviously I doubt there's one from the developers themselves, so you've still got a point as far as official builds go.
