file => open recent   =>
open document.sla
save document .sla
save as document-2.sla
export document.sla =>
save as image, pdf, etc....
With scribus you can only work with .sla

You can "save" or "save as" session  without any complication

Before I wrote my last message, I tested sofwares because I never talk 
about what I do not know.
Remind :
My conditions test : Debian Wheezy system
Everybody can test now these editors.
- Krita: I open any file. I can choose "save" or "save as" without any 
complicated menu or any distinction about "native" file. This is the 
standard.
- Libreoffice : the same
- Scribus-1.4 : the same
- Geany :  the same
- Ardour : the same
- Showfoto (digikam editor) : the same
And many all/other editors image or text editor EXCEPT Gimp
I post my views here to improve things and not mindlessly bashing.
Gimp is great even though it has some flaws that could be corrected.
