80% of the time I load a .jpg to make some minor edits (use the Curves tool to adjust brightness, contrast or white balance, Crop to control composition and Scale to size an image for web use). When doing that task the only change with 2.8 is that I must select "Export", instead of "Save As" from the File menu. No sweat! Almost all of the other 20% of my time with the GIMP is making up collages of images or using the tools from producing fancy text or buttons or similar small decorative graphics for web sites. In the past, I have sometimes regretted that I have not saved an .xcf, when I come to make changes to those images. The new approach the GIMP forces on me will encourage better practice. In short, it makes perfect sense to me that a high end bitmap editor should, by default, save in its native format and export to other formats. Just about every other program I know uses this pattern. Yes, it may mean I need to change my practices slightly, but it's hardly a chore and the change the GIMP team has decided to make, makes perfect sense to me. Keep up the good work!
