Worse still, since most

because of your idiot proof mode prompted me to lose my time consuming
work because it was overwritten with an inferior version from which I
can not recover!

This is a real issue. It is caused mainly by GIMP not having a good way of creating/exporting multiple views of a document. It is further exacerbated by us not storing undo/redo history in the document.
Both these are things to fix on the path to less/non-destructive workflows.
