I started using Visual Studio from 1998. In the good old days, VS used to crash leaving me hapless. I would lose something after it crashed. Auto-recovery would have been a good feature then. These days, VS 2008 / VS 2010 is robust and very stable. I do not think it crashes these days. I hope I will not have to auto-recover! :)
