<p>I often brainstorm and take research notes using plain text documents, and this is sometimes for complex problems that are not very high priority, so the brainstorm/research is not finished at once.</p>
<p>It would be best to have a feature such as LibreOffice's file recovery, which works even for unsaved new documents.</p>
