[Gimp-user] Why I went back from GIMP 2.8 to 2.6.x

2.) I open a JPEG and I want to save(!) it as JPEG. Why is GIMP starting to domineer over the user now (like e.g. MS Windows has been doing all the time) by changing the file type to XCF and forcing the user to export the image (that was opened as a JPEG!) if he wants to save it as a
