Yes, the quitting thing is quite annoying. I pretty much only play in Windowed mode so that I can easily kill the game in Task Manager without any risk of a lockup so I don't have to reboot.
I just got the latest beta a few days ago and was wondering if any sort of in-game Tutorial was being planned for the final version. I managed to figure most things out from just playing around and the Game info page (though some of it doesn't seem accurate), but I feel that a good tutorial or better documentation would really help a new player get oriented quicker.
