To be fair there has not been any significant changes in 7 years (just minor improvements and bug fixes) so it doesn't make a big difference to stick with "old" versions. I've been waiting for about as long for GIMP 3 and the non-destructive editing feature, but not sure it will ever be done.
- filmor 7y ago2.6 was released in 2008, 11 years ago, and since then the gegl backend, single window mode, layer groups, color management, and lots of additional features were introduced. Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP_version_history#GIMP_2.6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP_version_history#GIMP_2.6 on what you are missing out, especially by ignoring 2.10. GIMP 2.99.2 (first prerelease of the GTK3 version) is supposed to come out this year: https://www.gimp.org/news/2019/01/02/gimp-and-gegl-in-2018/ https://www.gimp.org/news/2019/01/02/gimp-and-gegl-in-2018/
- lucideer 7y agoI'm not a hugely active GIMP user, but even from a distance I've noticed significantly more changes in the past 7 years than previously. If anything it's accelerating.
- soulofmischief 7y agoWhat? GIMP has been totally reskinned and a whole lot of under-the-hood and feature changes have taken place. Do you actually read their release notes? Progress has been steady on the non-destructive editing front. It's taken a complete engine rewrite to get the necessary prerequisite features in place. Why don't you dive in and lend a hand instead of lamenting over how long it's taken?
