I'll look into this later. Perhaps Save/Discard/Cancel is better for all GUIs, since you don't need to read the text to know whether "yes"
means "save" or "discard".  But it will break the translations.

Just being a lurker here, I would vote for this being in all GUIs
(not that we get votes here). Having the actual save/discard vs. yes/
no makes it much simpler to look at a message box and know which
button to press (probably why the "File Changed" dialog in Vim is a
bit easier to decide what to do than the "Save Changes" dialog IMO).

Would you also vote for changing the console style dialogs? I mean,
console users are normally used to press y or n, when answering these
kind of questions.

Well, don't you do that by typing :wq/:wq! or ZZ or whatever? Most of the other "dialogs" on the console version don't ask yes/no questions as far as I have encountered. I think it is a non-issue for the console version...
