title: Why is the save button needed?
body: <p>Software like OneNote has shown that auto-save can be implemented, and it works just as well (or better) as the manual save button / CTRL+S.</p>
  
  <p>Anyways everything that you work on you want saved. Its just if you're trying out something destructive that you would close <em>without</em> saving.</p>
  
  <p>So from a programmers/usability perspective, why is the manual "save" feature still seen in virtually all software today? Is it because everyone is too lazy to implement "auto-save" whenever data gets modified?</p>
  
  <p>And is it a good idea for us implement auto-save, at least to start some traction in our specific industry and amongst our competitors?</p>
