Save Prompt on Quit

I find the current auto-save system awkward. When I open the app, I'm often asked about recovering auto-saved changes with no context about what they contain. Instead, couldn't the app simply ask if I want to save changes when I quit?

    Users can switch off their computer, can force quit the app.. The app can crash… User can press Cmd-R to refresh the app..

    If you press Cmd-S and then close we will not ask you about unsaved changes. And… better safe than sorry!

    No, there can be many reasons why you did not save your work. Luckily we save every change so you NEVER lose any work.

      Mmh. Would it be unreasonable to ask users if they want to save changes when quitting the app?
