They might have pressed some keys as soon as they opened Vim causing that message to disappear before they got to read it.
Or they might have been working on a file for hours before they want to quit it, so might not remember.
Or, they might not know how to enter :q. Entering it requires them to be in the right mode.

- innocenat 6y agoI doubt you would be working on a file for hours if you don't know how to use Vim. I doubt Vim killer save the file for you either.
