Lost mental state is generally as painful as data is. People hate it viscerally.

This is hugely underappreciated. Last fall I decided I would get back into making videos for YouTube after 7 years away. But two videos into the new series, and the constant crashes of my video editing software I just paid $$$ for have reminded me why I stopped making videos in the first place.

Yes! I hate making videos for that reason. It is action, save, action, save, etc...

Ultra painful. And anytime I hit flow, I am either gambling by not saving and disturbing flow, or leaving flow trying to save... agreed.

This is super off topic, but I also find working with video UIs frustrating for this reason. For my own needs, I have been working on a video editing tool that has a workflow more similar to web dev. E.g. describe changes in text files and render the final video on the command line. https://github.com/andykais/ffmpeg-templates

Interesting!

Scriptable may find a lot of use.
