I'd've thought a program with this many settings might allow for moving the main toolbox where I want it, horizontal and top of screen beneath the File Menu, just as programs such as Audacity allows users to do with instant ease. Easily draggable menus that can be placed on any side of the program, top, bottom, left or right. That's been a basic UI customisation function in many programs for decades.
Ah..but the Gimp Interface goes way back as well.
However, your feature has already been requested
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/2973 and https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/9313
...but do not hold your breath.
I've enjoyed using Gimp for a number of years, and have always recommended it to people - that is until I tried to do simple things with it, such as make it more comfortable to use, as other programs allow me to do.
It seems that in a bid to add a billion convoluted features I'll likely never need to use, the creators of Gimp have omitted basic usage customisation, window management. And at present, it's way more fiddly and aggravating than I'm prepared to deal with. Here's hoping it'll improve in the future.
And the fact that Gimp goes way back, as you said, makes it even worse - that the User eXperience is a very low priority indeed. Quantity over even basic usability.
