I was only talking about the current situation - of course it is bad,
RC3 already came with major improvements in quality and speed. They
should update, definitely. I meant it could be worse ...

Apart from that, while saving directly to Vorbis is/would be
comfortable, I personally prefer to store my changes lossless. I don't
want to use their closed "Perfect Clarity Audio" format (apparently a
lossless encoded format), which is why I choose WAV. My archive is
FLACed or LPACed and from there I encode stuff that I want to release or
listen to myself. For example, if you find yourself in a situation where
you already stored something lossy, and this happens to be the only copy
you have left and then you have to change something else ... that would
introduce unnecessary generation loss.
