I also find the change frustrating for my workflow. I don't mind learning
the export-instead-of-save command, but it's bad UI to always confirm on
exit even after a file is saved -- and, for many actual real world user
workflows, exported *is* saved for every practical purpose.

I understand that having a lot of options in a user interface is generally
frowned upon, but this isn't a UI choice -- it's a workflow choice. This is
explained in more detail at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687783

It seems likely to be popular, and I think since the core developers here
are pretty much set against the idea, it's probably more constructive than
arguing.
