I'm still using the last 2.6 in my "production" system, as I think there are too many issues with windows and 2.8.0. Chief among are reported problems with pressure sensitivity (which is blamed on an old version of GTK and can not get fixed by gimp devs) and excssive sluggishness with colour management turned on. My machine is dual boot, however, and I have had good luck with 2.8.0 on Linux Mint... except I haven't yet set up the buttons on the Wacom tablet, haven't figured out how to get the selector dial to work, and can't get the OLEDs to light up...

I'm waiting for 2.8.2 before I switch...
