I find it much easier to type



quote ... endquote 


than



beginquote ... endquote 


The same goes for other environments.



I wanted to know if it is "safe" and "sensible" to proceed with the first form, and why, since the results are apparently the same.

    I'm sure others will give better answers. But this is a bad idea. begin and end include among other things begingroup and endgroup. Environments may well assume this, so things that get changed in the environment will persist after it.

Always use the begin end syntax, some environments might work using the underlying commands but most will not. It also helps editors to offer syntax highlighting and context sensitive file operations acting on whole environments.



For example here



enter image description here



documentclassarticle
usepackage[utf8]inputenc


begindocument


zzzz

quote This is my quote endquote

zzzz



enddocument


You will see that endquote does not restore the indentation and the paragraph following is set as part of the quotation not as a standard paragraph.
