I have never, ever invoked any kind of Auto-Save in any Mac application. Cmd-S is so ingrained in my grey matter and workflow that anything automated just gets in my way. Almost like those asinine thingies insurance companies want to you plug into the ODB port on our cars. But I digress, big time.
I agree with Dennis and do something similar only he does it far more frequently than I do. In thinking about his, I may go so far as to do it with greater frequency. But if I have encountered any file issues, and I have, at the very most I have only lost about 15 minutes of my time. I am much more comfortable with that than any Auto-Save can muster.
