I usually just power-cycle the machine

Are you guys serious? Command q. or x. or wq. or use a proper fucking terminal so you can ctrl -z and resume.

I am non-serious, I just don't like vim (or emacs; if I'm editing a text file in a terminal I want nano, or I append manually with pipes as Linus intended).

Most of my systems have X11 and some basic GUI text editor, my server is the exception that proves the rule. There is generally no actual reason to use Vim except liking Vim, or wanting to learn to like Vim.

For those that do like Vim, or want to learn it for historical reasons? Good on you, have fun.
