[Gimp-user] HATE the new save vs. export behavior

[asbesto <forums gimpusers com>]

I 100% agree.

I'm using this "new feature" in Gimp from about 1 year, and the result is always
the same: the PAIN I feel every time I have to save my damn jpg back in the
format I'm working: JPG.

this is so, so STUPID. 

I know developers won't go back for ANY reasons because they believe to have the
truth in the world; so I really hope for a fork of the entire Gimp project
someday.

and this isn't changed after 18 months using this CRAPPY way to save a jpg.

there is NO advantage.

And the behaviour has to be responsability of USERS, not developers. Users
doesn't need STUPID tools to make things.

Has anyone solved this bad behaviour? Is there something to use instead of this
idiot-wannabe gimp?
