Serious Complaint

Question

Why is the "Close and Go to Bridge" option DIRECTLY next to the "SAVE" option???? I worked on a project for about an hour without saving and when I went to click save like I always have done I accidently pressed CLOSE! WHY IS IT RIGHT NEXT TO SAVE? I do not have Bridge installed so I FLAT OUT LOST MY WORK. I understand there is a dialogue box that pops up that says "Save changes before" but this time it did not appear and instead began to AUTO DOWNLOAD BRIDGE. WHY?

Close option should be at the bottom or top NOT NEXT TO SAVE.

I never thought this could happen until it did. You could be next!

The location in the menu is a valid point.

Another valid point is using the universal/cross app operating system command to save, rather than the menu: CMD/CTRL S

Working for an hour without saving is perhaps asking for trouble. Look at the following Bridge script from @SuperMerlin that will pop up a reminder in Photoshop:

Which could be tweaked into an auto-save script:
