I've looked through the discussion on the next GIMP release in the development list. :) Are there any plans on adding the features the text tool don't have compared to freetype plugin (spacing, transformations). While the transformations are available via tools, there is the bug at least in the latest build for Windows (2.2.1) that after editing the text being transformed before it loses the transformations.

Yes, transformations will be added for GIMP 2.4. It's already almost working in my tree, I only haven't had enough free time at hand yet to complete it.

Spacing on the other hand is difficult to implement and depends on features being added to Pango. There's a bug report about it in case you are interested in the details.
