as a rule, anything that generates disk space using material without an explicit instruction from the user, is best left off in the defaults.
there's a number of things that could be better in autosave (although I seriously doubt I'd ever use it anyway), that is something hard to argue, but the default of the option is one thing Soft got right :)
unprompted and unsolicited data writing that has no flashing red sign is a dangerous, dangerous thing to do.

Is there any way we can get autosave to be ON by default. I just lost 2 hours of work because I took for granted the fact that autosave would be on but it wasnt. I know it's totally my fault for losing the work because I failed to save like I should have but I wouldnt have lost anything had the preference been on. Is there any reason it is toggled OFF by default?! What is the official request mail? I searched the archive but couldn't seem to find it. Thanks!
