I don't really like the idea of autosaving.

Now, something like Word's AutoRecover feature I could hear having. (Auto-saving periodic copies in the cache, and detecting when those dirty copies are around and offering to recover them.)
But I suspect it isn't trivial to implement.


The only good reason for either feature is for the purpose of recovering from an unexpected crash. And autosaving itself is far, far, far, far, far too destructive for that purpose, IMHO.
