Gimp 2.8

Anyone else play with Gimp 2.8? I grabbed it yesterday and, for the half hour I used it to make a very basic image, I'm absolutely loving it! If I get some time, I might write up a full review, but...

Layer folders!

And single window mode (and, even better, the option to switch between single and multi window mode)!

Seriously, if you use Gimp with any regularity, check it out if you haven't already.

That sounds great, actually. I wonder if it's in the Linux repositories yet...

Depends on your distro. Arch Linux has it.

It’s in Debian unstable and although doesn’t seem to be in current Ubuntu it looks like it’ll be in the next one.

There's a third party PPA for Ubuntu/Mint. Noobs Lab has the info for it (http://www.noobslab.com/2012/04/install-gimp-28-on-ubuntu-1204-precise.html). It's the one I used and it's been stable for me.
