Sigh. Let me try explaining it in a different way: Your way:
In the normal case: you have to mentally keep track of what you saved, when you saved, and when you WANT to save, and then consciously click the save button (or hit a 'save' keystroke). In the unusual case: you have to remember to not save the file and close it and then reopen it (if necessary). The IDEA way: In the normal case: nothing. everything just works without you ever having to even think about it In the unusual case: you undo, or you revert the file. One quick, specific action in either case. Note that the IDEA way is just inherently more efficient... the usual case requires no explicit actions and no thought on your part. Only in the unusual circumstances is there an action required, and this really is as it should be (and note it's no more action than required in the unusual case in your way... in fact, I'd say it's less work still). It's just a win all the way around. I simply don't see your point here or why you're clinging to a way that takes more work and is less efficient. All I'm saying is give the IDEA way a chance and stop fighting it, and you might really begin to appreciate it like I and so many others have. If something seems to be a bit too awkward, ask others about it, and maybe there's a simpler way. I'm not a CVS user, so I can't help you in that area, but I can tell you that I use Perforce and do NOT use the Local VCS, and IDEA just never ever gets in my way... once I learned to change my old habits. It's true that an IDE should work WITH you, but there are many cases where learning to change old habits is actually a very good thing. Sometimes it's good for an old dog to learn new tricks.
