In my experience, exporting with existing samplers needs to be a
user-controlled action. It really depends on the kind of image you are
resizing.

For screenshots, automatic resizing simply produces horribly looking
pictures. One of the reasons I run GIMP 2.9 for Git master is because
I can access LoHalo sampler which works far better for resizing down
than anything else in GIMP 2.8. And even then I need to add a bit of
unsharp masking, depending on particular case.
