Disagreed. The length and the shape of the workflow doesn't tell 
anything about the features of GIMP being used. You can use the most 
sophisticated functions of GIMP and nevertheless prefer a slim workflow 
with JPEG as the single output format.

Disagreed. This has been stated but not been proven. You can make a 
"save as JPEG and quit without being asked afterwards" feature optional 
without any side effect and without too much effort.

BTW: My favorite argument against such an option (besides "use another 
software!" and "no") is "everything convincing has been said elsewhere".
