Hi @donbonbon
Would like to know which 2.8 tutorials you followed. If from 2018 I would agree.
But with latest 2.8 beta released, continuing and encouraging others to work with 2.79, knowing how different 2.8 is, is misleading.
Rather be learning in a beta 2.8 environment than wasting more time in 2.79.

IMHO too.
