Like with your monitor off or something? How do you not look at the UI when editing an image?
You can press Tab and hide pretty much all UI except the drawing window. If you mean on-canvas tools, they are all pretty great (except maybe Text tool) and often superior to Photoshop (for example consider Unified Transform tool from 2.10).
What do you do instead? Are you using GIMP entirely through the scripting interface? How are you using a graphical image editor without looking at the user interface?
