I did. It added /another/ menu point called "Save-export" or so and acts 
like "Save" used to do, after the image was exported once.

Needless to say I /still/ clicked on "Save as..." or "Save".

So it really did nothing for me except making the menu a little more 
confusing.

The whole situation boils down to the lack of character that is 
necessary for admitting a mistake and reversing this change in the workflow.
