I know where you’re coming from on this.

I think one thing the architects of this did not really consider is that the 
act of NOT SAVING is a deliberate action on the part of the user (though 
obviously one that’s undetectable as such). I open a file, tinker around 
editing something but I don’t want to keep that change, so I deliberately DON”T 
SAVE. That’s what’s always worked for decades, but now it doesn’t. If you want 
to experiment with a change you are unlikely to want to keep, you need to do a 
duplicate up front. I just don’t think that’s the way many people’s minds think 
about their workflow.
