After many years of computing, I'm used to hitting a "save" hotkey every
few minutes, to keep what I've done safe.
I also do the same, I just click Ctrl+S. But my query generating
seeing the analogy in 'gmail compose message' option.
It also gives me a good undo,
if I've messed up. Auto-saving loses that advantage, it's saved your
mistakes (if you've made any), without an easy to way to undo them.
Anything from cat on keyboard, to trying a re-write of your document,
then deciding you preferred the prior version.
Yes, that is dis-advantage with auto save.
