Press the power button on your computer. It works for me.

No need for such drastic means, quitting Vim is much simpler. Make sure you're in normal mode, then type :execute "!kill -9 " . getpid(). If you feel like that's a mouthful - fear not! Vim includes a mechanism for specifying your own commands. In your ~/.vimrc, add the following line
nnoremap gtfo :execute "!kill -9 " . getpid()<CR>
You should now be able to quit vim by typing gtfo in normal mode.
