All DAWs work like this. That's why I used it as an example. DAWs generally work in a non destructive manner and you need to save that info for later editing. Not destructively export it without saving the whole project. 2D image editing has many non destructive aspects. DAWs have lots of tracks which can be equated to Gimp's layers. Some image editing apps are totally non destructive. Sure, there are many apps that do not work with save and export being different dialogs this but that doesn't make them right.
If you open say a .png or whatever format in Gimp, work on it then "save" as in the old 2.6 method to .png you are not really "saving" all that exists in the Gimp project, you are exporting the file back to .png. Hence it is completely logical to have this separate. In the new system it's harder to accidentally export when really you wanted to save the Gimp project.
