Pressing the save button gets me an error saying HTML cannot be saved.

Why does everything has to have an autosave?

So you can concentrate on your work. I was writing auto saves 20 years ago.
I do all I can to forget old...

Also, some things are out of their control. In order to have it cross-platform (think about it, that is quite unusual), some generic libraries and environment have to be used.

Back in the day, we wrote low level routines for stuff that couldn't be done with half dozen layers of libraries.

Font handling is not complex, but a very precise job.

How many font variations do you think there are in today's world? Hundreds - maybe thousands.

When I do a big cut/past or complex S&R I always save beforehand. It is only a mouse-click away...

The only thing a mouse cluck away is epub, apparently one of the lowest level ebook formats around and it tends to lose stuff I want kept. Sigil needs an HTML save. Epub is not the base of ebooks - HTML is.
Of course it is possible to do an HTML save if you have time to highlight endless pages of it and save it to a file. Autosave IS needed.
