Well...

  gimp image.jpg
  make some changes
  Shift-Ctrl-E
  <File selection dialog> Enter
  <Overwrite existing file> Enter
  <Export image as JPEG> Enter

Compare this to:

  gimp image.jpg
  make some changes
  Ctrl-E
  <File selection dialog> Enter
  <Overwrite existing file> Enter
  <Export image as JPEG> Enter

Spot the difference? Right, there's none.

For simple editing, it would be beneficial if the latter were:

  gimp image.jpg
  make some changes
  Ctrl-E
  <Overwrite existing file> Enter
