Using guides is a really good habit to get into, however there is also the built-in grid, View -> Show Grid If using a lot, set up a keyboard shortcut. I wonder how many users bother to set it up globally for their particular use Edit -> Preferences -> Default Image -> Default Grid This can be adjusted on an image-by-image basis Image -> Configure Grid the settings are saved with the image in .xcf format.

Gimp 2.10 has additional tools. The measure tool now straightens. Follow a vertical (or horizontal) surface, click on straighten.

rich2005 - much thanks! Exactly the kind of option I'd expect to be on the Rotate command (since that command, well, rotates an image). I'd never (and did not ever) think to look for it on the Measure command. But thanks to you now I know.
