    :wq will save and then exit, while :x will save only if the file has been modified and then exit, and then there’s ZZ that does the same as :x, plus there are probably others:-)

      The question specifically asked for “the command to quit Vim without saving

      They explicitly ask for the one that quits without saving, so I’d say :q! is the obvious choice

        I agree that it’s the most obvious choice, but it also doesn’t work when there are hidden buffers open. :qa! and :cq should always work so they are arguably more correct
