This discussion got me curious and I tried installing
2.8. It finally has a functional, single window. It seems
OK. But I don't think there's anything there I really need.
I don't really use plugins. And like Photo Demon, GIMP
doesn't have line or shape drawing tools. It can sort of be
done by jumping through hoops, but I find it odd that a
program can make your image look like it's cloth or
colored pencil, but considers a line tool to be "drawing"
and therefore not proper to a graphic editor.

The 2.8 version likely has the "Save" versus "Export" thing.

"Save" only saves in native .xcf format.

If you want a real-world format, you have to "Export"
to get it. You can Export to gif, jpg, png and so on.

I used to keep selecting Save via muscle-memory
and it used to drive me nuts. So instead, I went
back to a previous GIMP version that only had Save, and all
the file formats were accessible from the Save dialog.
That way, I won't keep selecting the wrong option.
