Lack of Autosave
Damnit! I just had this huge post prepared and nearly complete when something happened to my browser (probably out of memory). I had not saved the post as a draft since I was working quite quickly. Before I could finish the last paragraph, I lost the whole thing.
Why is there no autosave feature? Apparently, this was rolled into 1.5.x and then rolled back out. With all of the AJAX support throughout the admin interface, this only makes sense. If a post has a title, save it every so often as a draft. That just makes sense. Perhaps I should make an official request; perhaps I should just make the modification myself (that would go against the post I was working on).
There was apparently a plugin for 1.5.x but it seems it has not been updated for 2.0. Maybe I should start making my posts in Gmail first, then email them to the secret address for WordPress consumption. ARG! Okay, I’ll try and get the post published tomorrow.

You could always rewrite the plugin….
Yeah, like I have that kind of time on my hands….
