I've recently tried using GIMP again and, as a past detractor, I've gotta say it's improved significantly.

Honestly so much better when they moved away from the "everything is a floating window" interface. I can find stuff now.

I really liked the floating window approach. I don't mind the new way, but I enjoyed the floaties when they were the default.

Funnily enough, back when it was floating by default, I always looked for the toggle to make it one window. But when they made it a single window by default, I found myself toggling it back to floating.

I kinda like having both options. Floating could still make some sense, and it can do cool things that a single window can't.
