Ignore him...you're not misguided...just accustomed to something different.

Many of us on the list have been through this ourselves.  I'm also a control
freak.  I also had a hard time getting used to having no save button.  Give
it a few weeks before making a decision.  I found that after a while, I could
completely forget about the whole file-saving concept...and concentrate on
more important things.  One I gained faith in IntelliJ to save the file at
the proper times, I found that it is a much more natural way (for me) to
work.

Now, I find myself wanting other apps to work this way.  Why do we have to
worry about saving files at all, I wonder?  Since _not_ saving the file
is normally the exception and saving the file is the 'rule'...why not
_always_ save the file?  (with proper undo features, such as LCVS, of course)

I'm now convinced that someday the whole concept of manually saving files
will be obsolete and _all_ apps will have some sort of version control
system built into them.
