One use case that sometimes bites me is when I'm working in the "code" of the Playground (first screen), and then I start going deep with "Evaluate and Go", basically inspecting my objects, and then I close the window thinking I'm dealing with an inspector hence losing the code of the "workspace" in the Playground that started the inspection "workflow", without receiving any warning about "losing" my changes.
I'd like an explicit "Save" in the Playground, but since I'm not adding it, I can't complain much. :) Regards. Esteban A. Maringolo Esteban A.
