Hi
It's a "very old" story... *Four years ago* Gimp developer Martin 
Nordholts explained on his blog:
"A lot of people over at GIMPUSERS.com want the old save and "export" 
mechanism back. The conclusion to draw from that is that they are not 
part of the user group we are targeting. We are not trying to make GIMP 
into an excellent JPEG touchup application, we are making GIMP into a 
high-end photo manipulation application where most of the work is done 
in XCF."

Therefore we, professional (or advanced users),  are not "the user group 
(they) are targeting... Martin Nordholts forgot other image formats, 
better than jpeg because they are not destructive: png, tiff. These 
three formats are very used in professional world but Martin Nordholts 
an gimp team sadly ignore it...
