Not recommended. Do 'service iptables save' as Filipe posted.
You will need to explain why this is 'Not recommended'.
Never had typos?
What's your point? Typos can happen whenever the keyboard is used for typing. :) That is regardless if the typing goes into a GUI, a command line, or file editing.
We are however supposed to test our doings. Then most errors get revealed, be them dumb typos or the more astute kind.
BTW, I also prefer a nicely commented rules file instead of the dry list dumped by iptables-save.
