Why is entering your car through the back hatch difficult?

I mean if you could just leave out the front side door you could use those resources to improve enter-abilty through the back hatch.

This could also improve the loading and unloading of goods through the back hatch for more professional uses.

I use Ctrl-E myself. Am usually annoyed by little inconsistencies like this, but this one just never registered for some reason.

Because I'm not exporting but saving, and it doesn't work the same way as Ctrl+S should. If I have opened a file and changed it, I expect Ctrl+S(/E) to override it. What I do not want it to select a file or answer dialogs, asking me if I really want that. And when I close the app I don't want to confirm that I really don't care about xcf and yes, I want my changes "lost". And I especially don't want to lose my changes because I thought that I have pressed (Shift?)+Ctrl+E and that this warning can be disregarded.

I might be wrong in some details because it's been a long time since I last used Gimp without this plugin, but the whole process is so brain-dead that it is incomprehensible how anyone could defend it. I am guessing that if one of the core developers had to manually edit 100 PNGs they would revert their position in a blink of an eye. /rant
