You mean like vim does?
No, like joe does. Vim doesn't.
Given the right options, vim also creates a backup. See the "backup" and "writebackup" options. Afaict, the default is to write the backup, and delete it when you leave vim.
Well, joe creates a backup and leaves it there. What's the point of a deleted backup, if you decide to recover it hours later? Usually people find mistakes or change minds after exiting a program.
See? vim doesn't. No p.bak file.
vim backups are named filename~ (ie. with tilde appended).
