The GIMP does have support for layers, and guess what, the original layer isn't destroyed when you save, insert new layers, delete layers, and etc. You can revert to the original image whenever you want, assuming you didn't intentionally modify the original layer.

Save As is not nearly the same as the above. It is not saving a work-in-progress file.
That's true, it isn't the same thing. However, as a whole your propaganda is flawed. See my reply above regarding your implying that The GIMP lacks layer support.

Just a recommendation for future propaganda, stick to the argument that The GIMP doesn't support adjustment layers. Because the rest is just not correct.
