In a recent attempt to use Gimp for a small project, a few features I found were lacking:

1. Viewing the layer boundaries of all layers. Very helpful in seeing the total layout of the project.

2. Select multiple layers and do operations like move/align.

You can move multiple layers if they are in a layer group, at least in gimp 2.10

The group also shows the outline of the bounding box of all layers in it, although that's not quite the same as the layer outlines ofc.

I think both of those are resolved in GIMP 3. You can multi-select layers, and when you do it shows the total boundary for all selected layers. If you're willing to try it out, feel free to share if there are other issues you'd like us to look at!
