Not for me, have to start over in "Documents and settings" every time.

I don't just send the file out without checking it, and I do epubcheck compulsively.
But fixing the same setting every time I do a conversion is something that programs do more reliably, and faster, than people.
I literally only found out today what the "linear" property does, after editing and distributing epubs for about 10 years, and just shrugging off the ugly extra TOC at the back as something I had to put up with. It's not a well known feature.
There are a couple of other options that would be useful: e.g. to optionally add
<meta property="ibooks:specified-fonts">true</meta> to the OPF so embedded fnts will work in i-devices.
Also easily done manually, if you know you need to do it and know the syntax.
