Seems so and it doesn't depend on the project type btw.

No, I rather think you're seeing more crashes because you use kdevelop
for php development. There are various issues with the php support in
KDevelop (see bugs.kde.org for a nice list) and its completely
unmaintained. So my advice would be to use Quanta instead of KDevelop
for php development.

Seriously: What should kdevelop do when X crashes or power is lost? Yes
auto-save would help here, but you have to direct that request to the
Kate developers (kwrite-devel or a wishlist report on bugs.kde.org)

Thats a bad habit ;) I somehow tend to save more often than I should and
the first thing I always do is disabling the auto-save feature of an
editor.
