It's becoming normal, as users coming from phones aren't trained to use "save" function and expect every individual change to persist.
I actually consider that a good thing. Doing everything in volatile memory until user asks otherwise is a relic from diskette era.
- em500 6y agoIt's not limited to phone users. I've been using computers since the 1980s (C64), and I appreciate not needing to habitually keep pressing "save" every few seconds in Google Docs or macOS Notes.
- ymbeld 6y agoIt’s bad enough to have to keep pressing Save manually, but I also have to do it regularly while using LibreOffice Calc since it keeps crashing. :-)
- wheybags 6y ago#1 best jetbrains idea feature IMO - save on focus lost. Just alt tab into your app, or into your terminal to git commit, no worrying about "did I remember to ctrl-s".
- mmcdermott 6y agoI grew up in the Win 3.1-Win 98 era. I don't think the save reflex will ever quite go away. :)
- wtetzner 6y agoSometimes when I'm working on paper I reach for ctrl+s out of reflex ;)
- folmar 6y agoIt is a nuisance unless you have undo that is persistent. Phone-app likes have barely any undo. For example: cut some content from a file to paste it somewhere else. Now the program saves and system crashes.
