I don't see it at the top of the discussion on the forums I checked.
So can you expand why you think the text tool, is bad?
Before release 3.0:

Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/GIMP/comments/1fecr6u/suggestion_im...
Its just the first two results from top of Google.
Maybe the tool was improved in version 3.0, I'm running an older 2.x version. I will check it next time.
The versions were difficult in: - font size applying - random loss / reset settings - there were some issues with the preview when editting - font preview before selection etc.
Both of those are from over a year ago? For future, I wouldn't think that's "top" of any discussion.
The strange font sizes and setting reset was mostly fixed as part of the 2020 massive refactor [0]. There are still some minor inconsistencies between the two font editor panels, but they're being worked on.
Thankfully, you shouldn't have any random setting changes since about 2018 build.
I don't understand what you mean by texting tool. Do you mean text rendering? kerning?
Honestly, I think it was just the smiley faces. I didn't downvote.
