Why would you ever use an editor that could lose your work unless you save? Vim users will never understand that.

Actually vim has swap files which it saves to when you make any edit, whether you save the change or not, meaning you shouldn’t lose any work even if you kill -9 vim on unsaved work.

Yes, exactly. Why would anyone ever use an editor that doesn’t work like that, where unsaved work could disappear? I can’t understand that.
