Of course for ppl who don't like the 2.8, noone forces them to use it, but then the question is asked about the older versions. Is there even

When i started 50 years ago in the early days of IT as prof was me told that there are 2 rules for program developers : first keep it simple and second the user must be happy with the results of your work. In the endless discussion of export vs. Save i believe that the second rule is violated.
