Answer:
Sometimes it is nice to place layers in groups. It makes them easier to organize when you have lots of them. It also means you can easily apply the same effect to lots of layers, without directly affecting those layers. Long story short, it makes life easier. This will be much easier to program once GEGL has been integrated into GIMP.
