mm, many programs like editors (of text, video, other stuff) do automatic
write backs every so many seconds, or can be instructed to do so.
In the programs I write _any_ user action that changes  config,
updates the config files, so after a crash you are back where you were.
Even this newsreader does that, and firefox does it too.
