I think you're seriously overestimating modern stability.
I don't think it's a question that modern systems are more stable; any belief otherwise is just pure nostalgia (or someone who wasn't actually working on computers in the early 90's). Plus, the advent of autosave truly was a game-changer.
I've been working with computers since the '80s, thanks.
Autosave is surely the best thing since sliced bread, achievable thanks to ample and cheap data storage, but that's only such a godsend because instability is still an issue. We might have better recovery methods now, but the exponentially increasing complexity of everything introduces weak points as quickly as we can spackle over old ones.
