Likewise... my silence is not indifference... I LOVE the new behavior.  For what I do most, which is creating/editing images with multiple layer/mask support, the change is EXTREMELY welcome.   

First you have gotten rid of the annoying popup windows telling me I am loosing data when "saving" to jpeg/png.  

However, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the change now prevents an change being made with layer, mask, or other non JPEG functionality support, saving to jpeg, and the accidentally closing the image without first saving to xcf to ensure those changes are preserved.  While it did not happen often in 2.6, it did happen enough to really appreciate the new behavior.  

Also, for me... EVEN if I hated the new behavior, for me the new features such as resource tagging, brush dynamics(I use a pen/tablet), Layer Groups(though really wish the masking would work on groups.. but will have to wait for 2.10 for that), and other new features are well worth the small change in routine.  Of course, this does not even count all of the upcoming changes which will make life so much easier in 2.10, 3.0, and beyond such as layer adjustment masks, etc.  For these features alone, I would gladly change my long standing habits.  

I also want to express my deep appreciation and respect for you guys who spend countless hours of your free time with little to nothing in return.  As a few others have noted, I also am getting really tired of hearing all of the people acting like children who are not getting their way.  I mean seriously, why keep arguing?   The decision has been made, it was made on purpose, it was provided YEARS in advance for those who actually gave a DAMN about their input being heard so that they could provide their input(and in some cases ,their input allowed for some slight tweaks to be made while still following the direction the product wanted to head).  

Bottom line, if you don't like the new behavior please note your complaint ONCE and then move on... decide if you will relearn behaviors to accommodate the new GIMP UI, roll back to a previous version of GIMP(and thus never get new features again), fork the code, or find a new piece of software.   This constant back and forth is pointless trolling... your not going to win and your just doing more to alienate the developers.  Perhaps YOU may want GIMP 2.6 to be the perfect GIMP, but you risk ruining for everyone who either don't care about the new save vs export or those who like it from loosing the developers(and thus future updates) of the project.
