Re: Why does (my) Vim leave the cursor to the last mark even if I don't save the file?

How about:
- When writing the buffer set some flag, e.g. b:did_write_this_buf
- When exiting, go through all buffers and those that don't have the
b:did_write_this_buf flag move the cursor to the " mark.

Something like that.
