I think the point of these keybindings is that they are easy to type. In any case, you are right about C-x C-c being easy to inadvertantly type. It is quite easy to hit the c and x and the same time when doing any number of commands that start with either C-x or C-c (which most emacs modes make heavy use of). One way to fix the problem of inadvertently exiting emacs is to add set the variable confirm-kill-emacs to something like y-or-n-p so that it always asks you before exiting. --Peter
