Sounds like the VI exit issue? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11828270/how-to-exit-the-vim-editor <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11828270/how-to-exit-the-vim-editor> 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.
