No, I don't think it is only my usecase. Use fg,CRTL-Z is very normal
in terminal or in vt(console), without save button you have to exit 
menuconfig every time you want to save .config.

By the way,just a quick test, qconfig, xconfig, nconfig all have the
Save button, why do them exist if we follow your opinion?

Thanks.
