Even if your IDE does not "eat" your file, you might accidentally do it yourself In fact, a version control system is especially handy when you are adding new features as it makes reverting to older (and working) versions easier, and you could save/commit/record versions often and save space by not having a standalone backup copy each time you want to save the current version.

Not to mention that you could revert only PARTS of a change (ok, so you probably need revert all, then get the change out as a diff and then apply parts back in as a patch or such).

rcs, although considered "primitive" by most people, makes it easy to revert only certain parts of a change.

cvs was originally built on top of rcs, by the way.
