A quick anecdote...

I and a lot of people on my team used to habitually halt() to exit.

Then one day someone abruptly shut down a remote node they were connected
to because, well, they had that habit.

^G is a safer habit to form and reminds you where you are at when you hit
it, whether connected to a remote node from a local erl shell (want 'q'),
or via SSH (want 'exit()').
