Unfortunately, it follows the current Gnome design language. Gnome's approach to UI design doesn't click with some people, me included. I feel that while the main UI has not changed much since GIMP 2, the dialogs have become far less intuitive to use.

I was so annoyed by the dialog-buttons-in-title-bar nonsense that I ended up replacing my system gtk3 package with gtk3-classic the first time I used gimp after the 3.0 upgrade. It fixes some other bizarre gnome-isms so GTK3 software is less-jarring under KDE (or ...anything not gnome).

Holy shit, that's much better! Thanks; I didn't know about that package.

It is GTK3 not GTK4
