Question: Does the GMIC plug-in provide CYMK ability to GIMP?

I ask on behalf of a good friend, a professional graphic artist, who is still tied to Photoshop due to its CYMK ability, despite his disgust with the Adobe's avarice.

No, but the next version of Gimp, from what I've read, will. There is also Krita, it is 16bit and supports CYMK

Krita is more aimed at artists than the GIMP is as well.
