When looking at the most popular postgres questions on stackoverflow:

the first one (most up-voted) happens to be:
"How to exit from PostgreSQL command line utility: psql"

Wow, that's pretty crazy. I was going to vote against this proposal,
but I think I might change my mind. How can we say that this isn't a
problem for users given that data? It's evidently not only *a*
problem, but arguably the biggest one.
Sounds like the VI exit issue?
Having “made that ‘mistake’” once, by lots of users, does that imply it is a constant problem for those users?
Will, having the psql exit the same as msql/etc., make people rather use PostgreSQL than MySQL?
Is it really such a huge barrier to entry for users/sysadmins/developers?
Most users/developers I coming from the MSSQL type world is looking for a GUI to manage their DB, and in that regard MySQL has argue-ably a “better” tool with the name Workbench compared to PGAdmin.
