Well, if you look at it, there is obviously a lot of work to be done. 
Many filters work using pixels as a unit of distance, so they have to be 
adjusted for a specific resolution, some of the filters are incomplete 
or could be redesigned, the whole processing mechanism could be made 
more flexible.

Frankly, it sounds silly. Built-in filters can have access to 
information that would be extremely difficult to get to an external 
program, such as the actual objects in the scene, and which would be 
useless anyway for most image editing programs. Separating them out 
would limit their flexibility and needlessly make them more difficult to 
use.
