I am not trilled by the idea of Gaussian and Directional Blur going legacy.

The new Gaussian blur does not have horizontal or vertical setting. The Angle in the new one is only active when aberration is set. But still does not match the legacy one.

Directional blur has gone from effect to transition, which does not cut it.

@Ann Bens we are in the process of updating our aging catalog of effects with the more modern and performant Film Impact variants.  We have evaluated all out effects one by one and when there is a Film Impact effect that can do the same thing as an old Adobe effect, we are putting our old one in Legacy and making versions with the same effect but based on the Film Impact version.  As much as possible these should yield the same result as before.  But if you really need the old effect, or if it's used in old projects, its there for you in Legacy.  This is just the beginning; there will be more reorganization. I hope this helps.

The new Gaussian blur does not have repeat edge pixels.
