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.



You can line draw in GIMP. Use the pencil, set the pencil point size,
left click to make the starting point and then hold the shift key and
move the pencil to the ending point. It draws a line between points.
If you leave the shift key down, I think it will draw from point 2 to
the next point you click and so on.

Not sure about shape tools. I can make shapes but yes, it's not the
straight forward (if you call it that) that line draw is. And there
may be some hidden trick I haven't found for shapes, but I don't do them.
