Intellji save on focus lost, which actually works pretty nice.
Eclipse already has auto-save on build - which is also nice; but saves
less often.
IMO auto-save is in Intellij and family because the IDE isnt't able to
provide good validation on "dirty" documents, mainly because it relies
on external tools. Eclipse with it's incremental builds and so on is
much better on that part.
This a dangerous logic trap to jump into.
Validation by external tools is just a fraction of its usefulness.
Just consider you have an application deployed to a server - if you
don't press save, IDE won't make the changes available (both intellij
and eclipse)
The main reason for auto-save being available is that it just works
nicer and most have git or IDE local history to undo any accidental
save.
p.s. I personally disliked auto-save too, but must say that now that OS
X "force-feed" autosave in most of its applications I started to enjoy
it. One just don't realise it since it "just works".
