The Blender 2.8x experience has too much of "where did they put ???". Remember, this is a 3D animation program capable of film quality, with UI complexity far beyond most applications. I spent 15 minutes yesterday looking for the "align" tool, which isn't where the "current" documentation says it is. That's a daily experience coming from 2.79.
Actually, the 2.8x series is pretty good. But it obsoleted most of the published Blender books, of which there are many, and most of the user base. So a stable version, to give users some relief and allow the documentation to catch up, is a big win.
