Uh-uh. You're projecting your own experience onto others. My
experience: quitting Lynx takes no perceptible time at all; I start and
quit from dozens if not hundreds of Lynx sessions each day; I rarely
build up a large, valuable history. (If I see something I'll want to
return to, I bookmark it.) And I'm very used to hitting "qq" to exit
Lynx.
You can configure dev21 to *your* liking, or close enough:
QUIT_DEFAULT_YES:FALSE requires you to hit "qy" or "qY" or "Q", nothing
else (and you could map "Q" to something other than ABORT).
