Question: why does nobody else save and exit with ":x" or ":x!"?

[–] rustydrd 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

No specific reason, but I'd rather be deep in the cold, cold ground before I quit with ":x" instead of ":wq".

But... But :x is superior because it doesn't overwrite unchanged files with a new modified date :(
