If you reload the game or delete the q3config, the game simply creates a new one. An autoexec does just what it says... automatically execs itself when the game starts (writing the settings to the q3config). Unlike the q3config, it can only be changed manually. What this means is that all the settings YOU want, or perfer, are saved. If you organize it well, it is also the simplest way to make changes, since it can be very straightforward and easy to read. Other configs are created for specific settings or tasks (recording demos, viewing models, etc), and kept separate mainly because they are only needed occasionally, and would clutter up the autoexec.
