I agree with you but the Gimp team target is the opposite. Le last 
change concerning "save save as" function in Gimp-2.8 is not ergonomic 
at all. This is done so that amateur users do not lose work. I heard to 
say here that some people don't save their work... So the Gimp 
developers separate the function "save save as" into two functions 
according to the file type, .xcf or not xcf.
I think that Gimp will stay a software for amateurs.
