That's one thing I like about gvim, you can just click a save button. 
That and being able to use the mouse.  And yet, you still have all the
other keyboard-only things that traditional vi users want.

I'm not a hard-core user, but because I edit a lot of text files
related to web-serving, I like an editor that fires up in a flash, and
isn't over-simplified.  Gvim fits that bill, and I can manage to use
vim over ssh without a GUI when I need to fix things up, though I can
never remember how to do cut and paste that way.
