Versions has been the single "feature" preventing me from upgrading to Lion, and it makes me sad that things haven't gotten any better in Mountain Lion.
I want to be in control of what I save, when I save it and IF I want to save it.
Versions would be a nice feature if they worked as a background safeguard and not as the main way of persisting changes. Many times I open files to try stuff out, and I DO NOT want anything saved. With images, I end up doing this much more often than actually making changes I want to keep.
I think this whole feature is a sure way of losing data. Have they fixed how versions work with non-HFS+ filesystems yet? The last time I checked, no versions were saved in this case, but the system kept persisting your changes immediately: you edit a photo, make some changes, decide you don't want them and... too late, no way to revert to your original version.
Like someone else already mentioned in another comment, I'm about this close of installing Windows 7 in both my Macs. This is no way for a proper OS to behave and this whole "this is the way of the future, just keep up with the program" blind fanboyism is making me sick.
