Not really. I'm still aggrieved by it every time I open gimp and I tend to avoid using gimp because of it. It just makes editing workflows costly because xcf is a useless format outside of gimp and it's a nonsense to save an xcf to edit a png or jpeg you've just colour corrected.
At least svg is a web format which can be said to be useful and editable. So we'll have fewer issues if we did that. We don't have a PDF editing workflow for example, just PDF-page importing & creation as separate jobs.
Rather than go all Gnome on the design, we should test different workflows for something so important. Know what we're giving up if anything.
