This is something I was doing when I was playing with nodes for post 
processing. I had the image editor setup to display preview node. I quickly 
found out that one of the benefits of the overlaping render window is that 
it automatically fits the render resolution. No need to scroll inside the 
window to view the whole picture or to rearrange the workplace to fit the 
render inside the image editor. Once I figure that I could achieve the same 
thing within the render window with the "Do Composite" button, I quickly 
abandonned the Image Editor as an output for my renders. I agree that the 
Image->Save command is much more obvious from the Image Editor though.
