I will regret asking this, but why ?

I don't even remember what it was like to code without autosave in IntelliJ.

I will review the changeset before creating the PR anyway, so I don't see the downside of autosave.

This is my feeling as well. I hated autosave until I switched from Subversion to git and suddenly branches were a nimble and powerful tool.

Honestly, I don't even remember why it was so important to control when my code changes were written to the filesystem. I just remember it used to be extremely important to me, and then I quickly stopped caring when I started using git and GitHub.

Close editor by mistake, battery dies, go to lunch and forget what I was doing.

What is the upside? One less keystroke..?

The upside of not potentially losing everything you have done since the last time you remembered to save ?

is this a real question ?
