Or ZZ if you want to save and exit. Saves a whole second!

Also, for those of you who think vim is old, it’s got nothin’ on Ed.

Vi predating certain paradigms explains why it doesn't follow them. But it doesn't make it any easier for a random developer who grew up in the context of those paradigms. A new developer wondering whether they should adopt some modern vi is not being unreasonable for searching out something that does follow the prevailing customs. (But they are on a fools errand, because there are exactly zero good general purpose developer environments and the question I have is which of gvim, intellij or vscodium pisses me off least today.)
