I don't think this is a significant stumbling block for users adopting postgres.

​The OP complained, and I tend to agree, that 90% of the world uses the command "exit" to end a program and that it would be nice if we did as well.  This is not just a new user consideration - and I'd say that making it so help/quit/exit/\q on a line of their own is helpfully reported to the user as having been ineffective if in the middle of a string or statement-continuation, would benefit more than just new users as well.
