The \limits command is not saved. When you write something like
\lim\limits _{x\rightarrow\infinity}
in inline formulas the subscript will be under the \lim. When you save the
file an reopen it, the \limits is gone, so that the subscript will be
displayed like usual subscripts (e.g. like in $x_{i}$). This applies only to
inline formulas.

When you use \intlimits as an option for amsmath, integral limits in displayed
formulas are put below and above the integral sign as a default, so you don't
have to use \limits at all. I regard this as a matter of style. If one uses
\limits in inline formulas once, it would be strange not to use it always.
That's why I suggest having the option to do so as a default would be very
nice.
