Think again, use more imagination. There is an overview of the new features for V8 in the thread below, and it’s a quite long list.
Also, I just noticed:
With Previous KiCad versions, it took a few months for things to stabilize, but V8 has had 3 release candidates and some more (hopefully enough) testing. But time will tell… I do expect there will be some issues with plugins. If and how fast these get updated depends on the maintainers of those plugins, but I guess this is not very important for you. You will probably have your hands full with KiCad itself for the foreseeable future, and by the time you want to look into plugins, issues have probably already been fixed.
There are very likely no tutorials specifically for KiCad V8 yet, but I guess that is not much of an issue either. The user interface itself has not changed much, and tutorials for older versions should still be usable for V8.
