Simpler program? I usually just end up using Photoshop instead :) When you save a layered file in a unlayered format photoshop just forces the "Save Aa a Copy" option to be checked and then saves a flattened version while preserving the open one, thus if you then decide to quit without saving a layered version you get a "Are you sure you wish to quit without saving document x?" The way Photoshop handles it is far superior imho. With gimp iirc even if the file is not layered you still have to do export? And for many edits, i simply don't want to save layers or history. there's just no point if i'm cropping, converting, re-sizing, or quickly fixing something. If i do then i'll save it as a layered file and layered is by far in the minority. I know what i'm doing i don't need the app to 2nd guess me, and it seems the new workflow is better for people who don't understand the difference between layered and un-layered files.
