Because your treasure is someone else's trash. I saw a lot more people confused by the "floating selection" behavior that people dismayed by it being made a non-default option in 3.x. Contrary to popular belief, the devs don't do this kind of change on a whim. And very often a technique disappears or is made more difficult because it had vastly better alternatives anyway. I don't use Gimp at all as I used it in 2010. Gimp has changed, and my techniques have changed accordingly, usually wit great benefit (faster, easier, tweakable...).
