Do people really not know that Chrome has an option to reopen itself with the tabs you had open last? Preferences > Basics > On Startup > Reopen the pages that were open last.
I think the Ctrl+Shift+T shortcut to reopen closed tabs works across sessions too.

That's the one feature that's definitly missing from Safari. (Safari only just now learned to re-open the last tab with Command-Z. All the other tabs you'll have to search for yourself in the recently closed pages-menu.)
This doesn't seem to work for me using Firefox on Snow Leopard. The menu changes to the crazy keyboard shortcut I give to Quit (and sure enough the crazy combo works as well), however Cmd-Q still quits Firefox as well.

The reason it's not normally a problem is that if you're working on a document and you hit ⌘Q (or ⌘W for that matter) you will be prompted to save your changes. However, this does become a problem in web browsers and file browsers where there are no changes to save. Apparently in the early days of OS X the NEXTSTEP guys wanted to add a ⌘Q shortcut to Finder, which would log you out of OS X. As the story goes, some pe…
Most browsers warn you if you are about to close multiple tabs.... I guess chrome doesn't? Weird. That would be an implementation problem for chrome - every other OSX application tends to properly warn you if you are about to close multiple context windows with cmd-q. EDIT: Just researching a bit- this seems to be a conflict between the Chromium design goals and the OSX UI guidelines... the Chrome team absolutely ref…
The latest developer version of Chrome (9.x) has an experimental warning dialog in "about:flags".
In vi, I use control+w to shift between the sections of a split window. You can imagine the hilarity that used to ensue. But, it's not an issue anymore. I haven't made that mistake in well over a year.
You have to fight your muscle memory not to type CMD+Q in OS X.

Well yes, but if you have 20+ tabs open in a couple of windows, it's disruptive and time consuming to close and reopen all of them.
