Over GIMP 2.10.38, there’s a lot of changes. Better color management, GTK 3, non-destructive editing, and other stuff I can’t remember.
That last one is a major boon. It means you could perform an action on a layer, say raise the exposure, but revert it later on without affecting the quality or losing information. Unfortunately this doesn’t apply to all actions (such as resizing), but the list of non-destructive actions will grow later on.
The GNU Image Manipulation Program introduced optional single-window mode in version 2.8, which was released on May 3, 2012. It was made default starting with version 2.10, which was released on April 27, 2018.
Here’s what warrants a major version bump: GIMP 3.0.
Just so you know: Tiny windows scattered has been fixed for quite a while now. You have 2 mode, unique window, and scattered. As for me: Never went back
Fixed settings migration from 2.10
Implemented new GEGL API earlier than planned since plugin makers really wanted it
They renamed the nightly flatpak so you can have the stable and nightly versions installed alongside each other.
What on that list warrants a major version bump?? Does the UI still just scatter dozens of tiny windows all over your screen?
I just listed the changes since GIMP 3 RC1.

The GTK 3 port is also a major boon as it allows them to work on the UI with more modern tech

Very cool. Might reach for that next time I need to ‘shop something 🤔
