<Esc>ZZ is even quicker than <Esc>:wq ;-)
And you do not have to move your fingers when typing ZZ

[G]Vim is great, GREAT editor.
There is only one small feature that is found in other editors and isn't present in Vim.
It has absolutely fabulous documentation.
When it comes to Regular expressions, Vim has perhaps the most comprehensive implementation.
It does have relatively steep learning curve, when comparing to Notepad, but a fighter jet air plane or Formula 1 racing car do take more learning than a golf cart.
Besides, *all* other editors I have to use have strange bug. They tend to leave random strings where I started or finished editing. An example is 'ZZ' 'I' 'a' 'dd7jp' and even ':wq' sometimes.
Send me a PM if you need a place to start learning Vim or more propaganda ;-)
