GIMP 2.7.2 Released — Another Step Toward 2.8

An anonymous reader writes "The developers of GIMP have finally released a new development version on the way to GIMP 2.8. GIMP 2.7.2 includes a huge bunch of changes — but it is not intended for production use. 'The new release comprises layer groups (which were introduced after 2.7.1), an almost done text-on-canvas feature, the all-new brush engine and of course the new single window mode.'"

Maybe your motor skills improved since then, have you tried using a mouse the last years?

I have several (6) monitors, and being able to spread stuff out is nice.

You do, of course, realize the vast majority of people using the software have a single monitor, right. A tiny fraction have 2. The number of people on the planet with 6 monitors using gimp regularly would probably fit in my garage.

So although you are happy with your setup, and the way you organize windows works for you, its not an option for most people.

Have they made any interface changes for this new Gimp branch? I'm looking for something powerful and intuitively accessible, like Blender.
