No, but you SHOULD be: :x is shorter and more reliable (it won't reset
the date-modified when there are no changes and thus make "make" go into
loops and incremental backups unnecessary re-backup the file).

PS: :x is the "ex-mode" equivalent of the vi(sual-mode) ZZ command.

right, I usually only use :w when I actually type :w!
rest of the time it goes ZZ or :x!
Though, I never really thought about the rationale, just
got used to it as an easy type (on azerty at least)

Just extracting cq copy'ing a single plugin file into the right
directory isn't exactly rocket-science, and that is all the installer
did after they stopped shipping it with a .xpt file (THAT one had to go
to the "components" subdirectory and the list of plugins then had to be
updated).
