as with control-s and control-S, there's no difference the first time, only on subsequent times: control-shift-s (save as) and control-shift-e (export as) will prompt for a filename each time, whereas control-s and control-e will only prompt the first time, and not at all in the case of control-s where you opened an xcf file. control-e prompts even the first time because overwriting your input jpeg file can cause data loss that can't be restored by undoing all changes to the start of the session and then overwriting the file. It's also because control-e and control-shift-e were used in previous versions of gimp for changing the window size to fit the image and changing the image zoom to fit the window, respectively, so many users would press them out of habit and risked suddenly overwriting a file. I think I was the first to request that change, when I accidentally destroyed a jpeg image from a photo shoot. So yes, there are differences, or at least there are supposed to be differences, between ^e and ^E, as with ^s and ^S, and yes, the developers do listen to constructive suggestions and do change the code.
