Is it possible for user to disable Gimp 2.8 slider widgets and use "normal" widgets instead? I used to type values like opacity, scale, etc manually and now it became very uncomfortable to do.

You can type them, of course. Click in the widget and erase characters on the right of the vertical bar, then type what you want.

The problem is what with sliders I have to be extremely accurate with where to click to erase previous value. If when selecting from right to left I miss few pixels to the right I'll end up setting the scroller to its maximum. Selecting from left to right is even more impossible. This may sound a paltry thing but this is very annoying, because I used to change instruments values a lot and fast.

Erase to the right of the bar with the delete key, not backspace. It's very handy, on the contrary

The number field could use padding definitely, but a workaround for now is to triple click the text and then type in the new number. Second click selects up to the decimal separator, and the third selects the whole line; which in this case is the whole field.
