Finally updated UI! I really hope it inspires more updates and brings in even more people, just like when Blender revamped their UX a few years back and saw an amazing boost in popularity.
I use Gimp from time to time, and often get frustrated with its... unique UI. It's nice to see they're hearing feedback and working on it :D A tip for others that feel the same: if you've used Photoshop before and are used to its UI, try the free Photopea website. It's a Photoshop "clone" that works really well in web (I believe it's a solo dev doing it too). It's replaced Gimp for me lately.
> frustrated with its... unique UI It's a matter of habits. For me, Gimp is the primary image editing tool and all others feel alien.
Does Gimp 3.0 still behave the same for GIF Animations and I use that feature extensively and the behavior for that needs to remain the same for cropping, scaling, and frame rates editing or I'll have remain on the older GIMP. So there needs to be someone testing Gimp 3.0 against the previous version to see of any behaviors are not the same and sometimes that can affect workflows greatly!

I started using GIMP around 2003 as a small child, and I remember being hyped for 3.0 and non-destructive editing even back then. I'm in my thirties now. Slow and steady wins the race. Congrats to the GIMP team, can't imagine the catharsis they will experience when 3.0 officially drops.
Eventually I learned all the more advanced functions in Photoshop, specially the non destructive editing stuff, and couldn't really go back to Gimp. The muscle memory of using it eventually atrophied and nowadays I have a hard time using Gimp.
All that said, I don't do much 2D/3D work nowadays, so I've been using Krita for almost a decade and it feels like a decent PS alternative, with a more similar interface...

is it possible to draw a circle without using a combination of 3 different tools?

I would recommend Krita instead of a website. Websites are not automatically free or opensource, they also require internet access and can sneakily copy the files you are working with. If photopea is free today, it may cost money tomorrow. Krita exists for Windows and macOS too nowadays. https://krita.org/en/
You have made one of the most baffling logical errors that commonly crop up when people criticize browser-based apps.
Browser-based apps execute in a sandbox. They are more constrained in what they can do in comparison to a traditional program running on your machine. Any nefarious thing a browser-based app can do, a local program can do, too, and not just that, but they can do it in a way that's much harder to detect and/or counteract.
There are good reasons available if you want to criticize browser-based apps. This is not one of them.
