So I agree it's good for very new users, but as long as the user knows they're in a modal dialog I'd think Alt F4 would be consistent enough to be knowable. Now the strange this is I use ESC to close dialogs, thinking ALT-F4 was 'quit application' only. From my windows dev days ESC was the same as the cancel/close button on dialogs. That makes me think that there is a risk that if the user is in any doubt about whether they are in an dialog or not using Alt-F4 is dangerous as you might close the application. That uncertainty is enough to make me say the button should be left.
