Also, remember now that GLX2 is open source, and that has an
autosave feature as well. Remo (heretofore tRev) also auto saves if
I am not mistaken.

Yes that is annoying.
The problem here is that there's no assured way for the LC engine
to know wether a stack has been changed. Sure, the IDE tracks mouse
clicks, changed scripts and a few other things. But if for example,
you lock messages at the wrong point, then the IDE is unaware, and
thinks there's been no change.
As a workaround there are auto save plugins that save for you every
5 minute (or so). Even then, you will probably be forced to change
your workflow. I for example have just reviewed my behaviour, and
it seems i've gotten used to never quit the app, and never just
close stacks. Instead I save a stack, then close it, and only after
each stack is closed that way, I quit. By now, I even do this in
the web browser and text editor!

I just came across another instance of a pet peeve of mine. I
lost a couple of hours of scripting work because for some reason
that isn't clear to me the IDE doesn't always save everything when
you exit. It asked me if I wanted to save and I confirmed that I
did, yet a bunch of coding changes didn't make it. The changes
weren't in my application main stack but in another main stack
containing scripts that I insert as front scripts. Both stacks
were loaded into memory at the time I exited.
I've been aware of save problems like this for a while and try to
save things manually at regular intervals but didn't do so on this
occasion. But really, should a modern day development environment
allow you to exit without saving your work unless you specifically
tell it not to? That seems like a huge bug to me.
