I'm patiently waiting for resynthesizer to be ported. Then I will make the move to 3.0. I've used GIMP exclusively as my image editor for the past two decades and it has fulfilled my needs for web development. I really don't get all the gripe around it. It's one of the most valuable free programs on my PC. Sure, it does take time and possibly customization to get yourself a comfortable workflow. But once you get it down, you can do basically everything you need with keyboard shortcuts and blaze thru editing really quickly.

I think it's already been ported, based on https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/1i99ze0/resynthesizer...
Thank you for that link! I've installed 3.0.0-RC3 and so far I'm pleased. I've noticed a few new behaviors like moving multiple layers now with shift instead of the previous layer link.
3.0 felt a little weird for the first day or two, but as someone who likewise has used Gimp mostly for web stuff for (almost) 20 years, I really like 3.0 compared to 2.x so far. Text is slightly more finicky but way more powerful, for instance.
I tried and tried, but just couldn't make the switch. Krita made it much easier and now I'm 100% Krita.
