Obviously, expecting the computer to save you when you were too careless to remember to save is a little ridiculous.

On the other hand, OS crashes aren't fun and in the unlikely event that one happens, it is nice to know your program can do crash recovery.


Now, don't get me wrong. I still think it is peoples' responsibility to save their work as they go along. Being careful, or even extra-careful, never hurt anyone.
