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.

Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
I like Perl; it's the only language where you can bless your
thingy.
