Cause it do die, same as it would to Windows.  Of course the premier
Unix editor autosaves all your work every n keystrokes and/or if it's
been idle for more than a few minutes anyway.  I use a Unix box which
effectively crashes every few days (not Linux) and I haven't lost any
work because of it yet.  I'd never remember to save my files every few
minutes, I just assume (correctly) that they get autosaved for me.
