The way I create JPGs from Bridge is to use “Image Processor.” Select all of the images in Bridge that you want to export (convert to JPEGs and output). Then go to the Tools menu and select Photoshop and Image Processor. Photoshop will open and present you with a dialog box that allows you to save the images in several different formats (JPEGs, PSD, or TIFF or all three at once), JPEG quality, resized or not resized, color profile changed to sRGB or left the way they were, etc. Just select t

How am I supposed to export several photos to JPEG? One by one in Photoshop? Really?
To be honest, I never saw the benefit of the export panel in its current state. It had far to less options for me.
Remember that for a simple task as saving as jpeg you always had the option to use the Image Processor. (menu tools / Photoshop / Image Processor)
But it seems you never used a batch command in Photoshop? This can be extremely helpful and very productional, yo can create an action by recording your steps in the action panel and use batch to play the action on a bunch of files selected in Bridge ( menu Tools / Photoshop / Batch).
With the current option to insert a conditional in an action (If-Then-Else) you can create a complicated action in PS for both landscape and portrait and then create a new action that gives you the option to assign both action (if landscape then play 'action landscape' (your action name), else play 'portrait'
It needs a tiny bit of study but it is not that difficult and as said, very productional.
For instance, I have several action for resizing. I also combined these with different sizes and using a conditional action. I select a bunch of files and with the batch command in Bridge (via tools) the selected images are saved in different sizes and stored in different folders (per size).
A few important rules when creating a save action, don't change the filename, not even touch this field, otherwise all files will end up with the same name and overwrite each other, and when you want to keep the original be sure to not save the changes when closing the document.
Try to discover yourself the enormous amount of options you already have with Image Processor and PS Batch using actions.
Recording an action is simple, create a new action and start playing around, most of your movements (not all) in PS will be recorded and when finished the action one push on the button plays it again and again 
Before you start experimenting, be sure to first back up your originals so you can play freely with them without the risk of loosing
Thank you for all your replies.
Using Photoshop and batch commands are not going to work for me. In many cases I don't even open the photos in PSCC. I use Bridge to categorize and organize photos or to download them from my camera and then straight export them from RAW to JPEG. So, opening the photos in PSCC adds an additional step .
Adobe detroyed a perfectly great product by taking featues away instead of adding functionality to make things easier. I am exremely disappointed.
Looks like I need to use Camera RAW for now. Let's hope that Adobe doesn't take away the "Save Image" option in there too. 
It's garbage. It's too much work, it takes too long.
I would suggest to stop this pissing-contest about Bridge vs Lightroom. So many users, so many workflows. There are a vast number of photographers very happy with LR and we should respect that. Personally my preferred workflow is Bridge and PS and I almost don't use LR as I also can't get very used to Apple's Aperture. But I have both also installed on my system and when needed I use it because each of them has also some strong points.
Everyone is entitled to his/hers opinion in the same way as everyone is entitled to have a perfect workflow with the chosen application for his/hers own profession.
As I stated before. I work in the software business and when we release a new version of our software we ADD finctionality, not take it away.
I can only fully agree with that
I am also not sure who was beta testing the software.
As I always understood Adobe beta testers are under NDA so we probably never will know that...
I cannot imagine that nobody has mentioned this during this beta phase.
So can't I, but now you are stating that large companies (read: the bean counting department, not the developing department) start to listen to their clients and before you know we are living in Utopia
Also, I don't know why Adobe took it away. Was it such a big piece of software that was impossible to upgrade?
Let's face it, the export panel never has been what it could or should be. It was crippled and difficult to use, many problems with Facebook and Flickr uploads that was only possible in a few countries.
But I agree, instead of take it away they should have developed it to perfection (now I'm also on route to Utopia)
Meanwhile you can use the Image Processor and even batch processing via the tools menu that offers much and much more options to customize. This means PS to be active but that should not be a big problem I would think?
So, it looks like I'm very late to the party, but if you guys are still fighting with Image Processor, I have a different and faster way to export photos, and resize them, sharpen them, even change the color space if you like. And yes, you can save a preset to save time when exporting.
Maybe you guys have already found another solution, but if not, I can post the directions here. Just don't want to be posting something on such an old thread that might be irrelevant.
