I use :q because it gives me more control. When I program, it's not unusual for me to have several instances of gvim running, each with two or three files opened. This is to coordinate the activities that are distributed among them. But when things finally work, any pending changes are not part of the test. :q will complain if there are any unwritten changes. I then do u^R to move the cursor to the last change and decide if I want to keep it. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn Programming is as much about organization and communication as it is about coding.
