four. the ! is unnecessary. how many actions are there to save and quit in other editors? ctrl, s, ctrl, w is four. move to file, click, move to save, click, move to ×, click is six.

and that's before we replace the wq with x.

    If we count the modifier keys:

    Vim: esc, shift+:, w, q, Enter

    Emacs: ctrl-s, crtl+x ctrl+c, or use the menu options

    I use both, but find Emacs much quicker, though vim is easier to learn, though Emacs is easier while you're learning
