Have you tried exiting vim? :D

  Yes, I press F1 (help) it shows me this: > Get out of Vim: Use ":qa!<Enter>" (careful, all changes are lost!) The joke is not relevant anymore

  I know this was intended as a joke, but exiting vim is now much easier than exiting emacs (IMO), assuming that the user has some experience with UNIX and uses `Ctrl+C` to exit most programs. If I start vim and press `Ctrl+C` I get an helpful message saying "Type :qa and press <Enter> to abandon all changes and exit Vim". If I do the same on emacs, first the help screen disappears (which was the one telling me to use `C-x C-c` to exit emacs and then I just get stuck with an unhelpful message about creating new files.

    You could try opening the File menu and selecting Quit :)

    vim is a text-mode program. Emacs is not. Exiting is easy for anyone, just click the x in the window and poof! It's gone.

  Try exiting `ed`. Much more fun.
