That is not an eraser, thats making a copy of your current work every minute, try something new, and if you don't like it, stop what you're doing and retrieve the old one from the filing cabinet.

So now every program needs an infinite, crash and restart resistant, fine grained revert option.

I applaud Apple for their braveness in changing such a core functionality, but I don't want to imagine the trouble this brings when accessing data on network shares (or even the lifespan of your SSD cells).

Yeah, which is why Apple added that in Lion so anything using NSDocument get it for free http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4753


Interesting. So they didn't really take away "save as" snapshots, just the ability to name them and get to them through the filesystem.
