How about simply rewiring shortcuts from Save to Save All?  We have had a request for something along those lines for V-Builder.  However, I've had situations in NetBeans where I've only wanted to save files for a particular module.  So there are use cases for a Save action that is less than an IDE-wide Save All (perhaps a project-wide Save All is sufficient, but OTOH with suite projects you might want finer-grained control).
 
As for completely doing away with single-file Save -- hiding it would be better than getting rid of it.  In any case, it would be prudent to leave that option open for any non-Java oriented applications built on top of NetBeans.
