I suppose control-apple-reset(power) and command-option-escape are much 
better?  And we need not mention command-option-shift-delete and its other 
friends...

On the other hand, stretching for alt-f4 is much more of a pain and is less 
intuitive that command-q, and last time I hit alt-f4 from inside Microsoft 
Word 6, it brough up some help box for previous users of WordPerfect rather 
than quitting...
