I actually like the clean approach of Boost.GIL, standardized libraries are cool and Adobe certainly put some thought in it but when comparing to libs such as OpenCV its feature set is marginal. Do you use GIL and for what purposes?

A:
Boost is a widely accepted set of libraries, but it's not in the C++ standard. So don't feel that you've violated the ANSI/ISO code of conduct by using something that better suits your needs.

It's more the other way around; I actually feel bad about using opencv as it is a messy pile of code instead of a cleanly written lib.

Well, there's always that. But some problems call for a brute-force solution. You might have to just grit your teeth on this one.

Does Boost.GIL do what you need? If not, it's not much of an option and you'll have to use OpenCV: If it does, and you feel it is better code, why not use it?
