ZZ is the same as :x, but neither of these are the same as :wq. iirc the
difference is that :wq always writes to the file, where as :x/ZZ only
write to the file if changes have been made. However, :x + hidden
buffers is likely to lead to you exiting without saving something (I
think - there's definitely something that can go wrong when using :x,
and I'm fairly sure that that's it).
