One alternative approach which can work quite well (Mentor Graphics does
this) is to get a really good auto-save system going.  The better the
auto-save system, the less likely it is that any crash could cause data
loss.  Of course, crashes in general are a bad user experience, but if you
open the program back up and your work is right there, it feels a bit
better :-)
