That is precisely what that command is made for -- exporting back to the original non-XCF file with a minimum 
of prompts and dialogs.  JPG's will still prompt you for compression options the first time you click it, but 
a lot of pixel-perfect file formats will be able to output straight back with no interruptions.

HOWEVER, it is interesting to note that despite appearances, the "Overwrite" and "Export" menu options are 
actually different commands internally and only one of them gets the Ctrl+E shortcut.  This was apparently 
deliberate, but I know I don't entirely like it.
