How do other people handle large numbers of brushes?
I don't import anymore brushes, if I need one I made it on the fly then copy/Ctrl+C for that brush to be in the image clipboard
I would suggest that you put brushes in GIMP when you use it = Keep your brushes in a separate directory, when you need one put it in the brushes folder of GIMP, click on the green arrow (in the image) to re-load/refresh the brushes (so no need to close GIMP)

Is there a way of grouping the brushes into categories so that they are not all displayed at the same time? Often an abr file contains many individual brushes some of which one might never use - is there a way of deleting the unwanted brushes?
I would appreciate any hints on brush management that people might have.
Shift+Ctrl+B (or in the menu > Windows / Dockable dialogs / Brushes), drag out the brushes tab to make it its own window-> resize as you wish (you can right click on the Title bar and select "Always on top" if you wish to have it always in your sight, just double click on the title bar to roll up the window, double click again to roll it down)
and you can even increase the brushes preview size
