In the 80s I believe the vi editor at least kept a swap file that could usually preserve your recent edits if you didn't save before it powered down, but it's possible that came later.

@burgerdrome @SocialJusticeHeals There were many ways to save your work in the 1980s. The post is hyperbolic for comedic effect |

Most people didn't have computers that ran vi.
My old Commodore didn't save anything unless I told it to and waited several minutes for it to finish saving.
