Should I write begin{quote} … end{quote} or quote … endquote?
I find it much easier to type
quote ... endquote
than
begin{quote} ... end{quote}
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.
documentclass{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
begin{document}
begin{description}
item[First] Test
item[Second] Test
end{description}
description
item[First] Test
item[Second] Test
enddescription
quote This is my quote endquote
enumerate item item item item endenumerate

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

I might mention that one MUST use begin{lrbox} ... end{lrbox} for it to work.

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
documentclass{article}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
begin{document}
zzzz
quote This is my quote endquote
zzzz
end{document}
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.
