Which is why the don't give guns to children but top-end can be trusted 
to understand that jpeg is lossy and png does not store layers.

It seems the "target user" argument is often cited here but they still 
need to be prevented form doing something "unsafe".

do professional top end uses really need idiot proof software?

Given the functionality and a GUI that is not obstructive to the job in 
hand, I don't think many of the target audience will be shooting 
ourselves in the foot.

And if that happens I expect they would be suitably embarrassed and 
adult enough not to blame it on gimp.
