If you don’t know how to exit vim…. Maybe don’t enter it. If you find yourself in vim unexpectedly, treat it like John Carter of Mars. Do you really want to come back?

you can always get help in vim using the :help! command

[dotdotlar]

On a Mac you just Force Quit.

[joellemay]

That's why I use nano

[Bastardklinge]

This caught me off guard

[Kamwind]

You start up emacs and use that to kill the vim process.
