            Out of curiosity, I tried typing an XCF file into the
              Export dialog yesterday and got that non-negotiable
              warning that GIMP won't let you do that.  Um ... why?  I
              see no practical reason why the Export command should be
              prohibited from outputting an XCF file to disk when it
              already outputs every other image format GIMP has any
              support for.

            
    I know it doesn't make much sense to "export to XCF", but allowing
    to store XCF from the export command would probably terminate this
    discussion. People who don't like the separation between save and
    export could simply change the shortcut from CTRL+E to CTRL+S and
    have the old behaivor back... Of course with no warnings about
    potentially destructive consequences when a layered file is saved to
    a single-layer format, for instance, but in that case it would be
    their call.

    
    It's a really small compromise, people who choose to use the
    existing workflow with save and export won't notice it.
