As others have explained, the OS (Linux) keeps a cache of file contents that have been written by applications, but not yet committed to permanent storage. If you "save" from within the text editor, then the saved contents should be immediately visible to other processes reading the file, regardless of whether it has been synced to disk. They'll simply get the cached version.
