But losing out on beginners that aren't familiar in favor of things that are naturally intuitive is a great way to make those who are new to programming and especially databases feel like they're dumb or not capable of it. I still recall the first time I was in vi and I couldn't figure out how to get out of the damn thing, and don't get me started on arrow keys. There are a lot of ways to help others learn things like Ctrl + D, an even better experience might be a 1 second delay with a message informing them of other ways.
We could bikeshed all day on which is the more pristine way to exit a program, paint the shed whatever color you want, being intuitive for beginners is never a bad thing.
Yes, it's great to learn Ctrl + D.
