Re: [Gimp-user] Save, Save As and Export separated?

[Ken Warner <kwarner000 verizon net>]

You will be told to use other image manipulation software because GIMP is now only for professionals that 
Save XCF files.  And you will be told in no uncertain terms that the decision to make GIMP only save XCF 
files is well documented (so how can there be any question of the propriety of that design choice) and anyone 
who expresses dissatisfaction with that design choice is somehow incompetent; demented or otherwise mentally 
challenged or just plain rude.
