How fitting that the tutorial for vim needs its own pre-tutorial for exiting.

  It's also in the tutor, lesson 1.2 But there's actually nothing special about vimtutor here: all it does is write a temporary file and then open it in vim.

  Having seen machines that have hundreds of Vim sessions opened because “system integrators” didn’t know how to exit Vim, it should be the very first thing taught

    Luckily vim finally got a bit better with that: on a Ctrl-C newer versions now show instructions for quitting. I remember my first vi sessions (typically via something like `crontab -e` where it wasn't clear to me it picked my "default" editor ... thus didn't know where to read up on it ...) some long time ago, where i knew `kill` before the right command ...
