Only a retarded company would put two very important keystrokes close to each other, that do very VERY different things.

If you're not using a Mac, look away now....

The command key (aka the Apple key - that funny symbol on the left of the spacebar)....

well, why oh frikken why is the keyboard sequence to close a window Cmd-W and to quit the application Cmd-Q

Sooooooooooooooo many times (and of course each time is critical, this time no different) you make a typo and hit Q instead of W and you see the app churning away to close each window and you go noooooooooo.
Cmd-. Cmd-. (normally Cancel, but of course this does sweet Fa in this situation).....arrrgh.

Since 1992 this shit has been this shit.

Please frikken give me a new sequence to quit an app!
/rant
