This goes double for nested menus. In this *particular* instance, faster != better IMHO. Exiting the program is a sufficiently destructive act (even if all of the files are saved -- you lose the undo information, the clipboard, etc.) so that it shouldn't be that easy to do unless the user wants it to be that way. That said, in emacs I've bound C-xC-c to a function that prompts me for whether I want to exit, but in the shell I unset ignoreeof (so that C-d exits me). It's a matter of personal taste here. However, I don't like that fact that C-q exits and C-w closes windows in a lot of applications (and exits if that was the last open window). It's probably due to emacs being in my fingers. This is a rather specific comment, and deliberately doesn't address the general issues surrounding accelerators.
