With versioning, you can change your mind later (create a duplicate, then roll back the original), which granted adds an extra step, but I personally think it's worth it for the benefit of not having to remember to save changes (or if something goes wrong, not losing unsaved work).  YMMV.

Whoah, Apple being responsive to user feedback!

The functionality of "Duplicate" (save the open file to a new location with a new file name) is the same as the functionality of "Save As" in the old days.

it's not the same at all.

one you do before you know you want to save a different version (which
might not happen, depending on what you end up doing) and the other is
done if you did make changes and need to save it.

But that difference is nothing to do with Duplicate or Save As.  That is to do with autosave and versionning.  In any situation where you open a file and make some changes but decide you don't want them, Autosave will have saved them and you have to roll the file back to the un-changed version.  Whether there is a "Save As..." in there or not, this is the case.

wrong. they are very tightly coupled. 

the versioning system forces the user to duplicate first because it's
going to autosave any changes to the original, whether you want it to
or not. you have to plan in advance that you are going to make another
copy, and you may not know this when you first open the file. 

without versioning, you can decide at any time to save to a new copy,
which will leave the original untouched. there is no need to revert
back because the original is still the way it was.

Here is a summary, some of which is redundant to the preceding
discussion, but included for completeness.

Before Lion, there were two, and sometimes three, save options.

Assuming that the document has already been saved:

Save did what it says; it saved the document as it was and left it open
for further revisions.

Save As retained the previously saved document with the same name,
created and saved a new document with the new name, leaving it open for
further revisions.

Save a copy (or Save a copy as), which only some applications employed,
retained the previously saved document with the same name, keeping it
open for further revisions, and created and saved a copy of the
document with the new name without opening it.

With Lion and afterwards, there are Save, Duplicate, and (as of
Mountain Lion) Save As (which is accessed by pressing the option key;
it then replaces Duplicate):

Save acts similarly to Save a Copy in the older method, except that all
but the most recently saved version is visible and available through
the Finder.  If you want a previous version, you have to open the
current version and use the Restore option.

Duplicate creates a duplicate copy of the document without saving
either; however, the duplicate copy does not have the previously saved
versions of the original.

Save As behaves the same as it did before Lion.

"all but the most recently saved" doesn't quite disclose the real 
meaning of autosave, though.  As you are editing, every once in a while, 
autosave creates a new version of the document--like save a copy, except 
that you can only get to it through Revert, which uses an interface 
similar to Time Machine to browse through and pick a version.
It apparently chooses when to save versions by what changed rather than 
by time--I just checked a document and found it has one version 
yesterday at 23:11, TWO Sunday at 23:40, and one each Sunday at 23:30 
and 23:21.

Not quite.  Before, do a bunch of edits and then Save As--none of those 
changes are in the original.  Now, they all are.

There also used to be the option to exit without saving, discarding all 
changes.  Closest you can get now is "Browse all versions", figure out 
which one is the one you opened (unless you know the exact time), revert 
to that one, and then exit.

Bringing back "Save As" did NOT fix the screwup, which was the whole 
idea in the first place of imposing an out-of-control half-assed version 
control system on every document, whether or not it needs one and 
whether or not it already has a real one.

The Mail.app version of autosave is even worse.  If I spend twenty 
minutes typing a long email, there will be DOZENS of versions of it 
visible in the Drafts folder.  When I send, usually all of them get 
moved to the trash.  Occasionally a few or even all stay in Drafts.
If I accidentally delete an e-mail, to find it in the trash, I have to 
wade through all those useless drafts.

What Apple should have done with autosave is admit they screwed up, but 
since some people like it, make it a user-selectable option.  Better 
yet, allow an app programmer to make it an app preference choice.

Jeez, I've never seen anything remotely like this.  I've never seen a 
single draft in mail.  I wonder if I have some option turned off.

Since 10.8 there has been the option in the "general" tab of the settings window to "ask to keep changes when closing documents", meaning if you open a document, make a bunch of changes and decide you don't want any of them, just close it and aske, when prompted, to discard changes.  Instant roll back to the as-opened condition (I think if you manually chose to save, it rolls back to the last manual-save rather than the as-opened, but this essentially restores the pre-versionning work flow).

Since 10.8.2, the "save as" dialog box has contained the check box "keep changes in original document".  Uncheck that box and, hey presto, Save As works exactly like it did in 10.6.

Unless you use the options it presents to you in the dialog box on the screen when you use it to make it work just like it did before.

They did.  That was 10.8.2.  Keep up.

Thanks for letting me know about these options.  Wish Apple had done so. 
  But that would be to "admit they screwed up."

Of course, it's possible there was an announcement that I missed.

Exactly! It's part of my workflow to use "Save as", and it is a 
workflow I have used for years without a developer shepherding me into 
a different way of thinking. It is second nature for me to use "Save 
as" with Photoshop, Preview, and other software. I don't need to add an 
unnecessary step, and my original is retained unmolested.

Apple! Please don't try and protect me from myself.

it's been part of everyone's workflow since since the first mac, almost
30 years, possibly before that on other platforms.

It has been part of my workflow for years to occasionally lose chunks 
of work if an application happens to crash and I haven't saved 
recently.  It has been part of my workflow that if I quit an 
application then the ability to undo previous changes at a later date 
is lost.  I welcome the end of these limitations.

save more frequently or don't use software that crashes.
