It takes a few hours to learn PostgreSQL and 1 second to remember, how to quit from psql.
Surprised to see the depth of discussion on this.
It takes sometime for a person to explore or know about PostgreSQL and install it.
Likewise, it takes him some more time to understand that there exists a "psql" to connect to it.
He knows about psql because he searched it somewhere. Just a psql --help (anybody uses help), should help me know much more about psql.
I think many people doesn't find it difficult to quit using \q.
I think its good to talk about or help with more features that helps a production database.
It's easy to dismiss usability concerns, but new users are what keeps a community healthy. Users who go "WTF is this @#$@" and bail aren't necessarily the ones you want to lose; sometimes they're just busy or are evaluating a few things at once. Early UX matters.
