no, this is such a big problem because the impact of hitting 'close immediately with no second chance' on a window when you mean to hit 'maximize' is so drastic.
High impact problems that happen less frequently are still major problems.

And the same problem always existed which keyboard - yet somehow people are not rioting and are not writing petitions to make Ctrl-Q illegal.

Exactly one of the reasons why i stopped using my Mac ... Cmd-Q (when using the right side Cmd key) is just too similar to AltGr-Q on a German PC keyboard ... quite a few long email replies have vanished as right before sending i figured out "i should put somebody@example.org on Cc:" and hit the wrong @ combination, closing the reply window without any confirmation dialog that way ...

I remapped all functional keys on my Mac :) To confuse the potential adversary and to make it a little bit easier to actually press commonly used combinations.

On dvorak, Win+J (switch to lower window in wmii) and Ctrl+Q are immediately beside each other, and feel identical on my keyboard. So I routinely close programs that I was trying to switch away from.
The reason that I'm not rioting or writing petitions is that it's my own fault, not that it's not a problem.
