Personally,

I prefer to tap the power button to open the shut down dialog instead of putting my mac to sleep. Is there anyway to change this setting on mavericks? Does anyone else feel the same way?

OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Nearly the same way. I would prefer to be able to select the behaviour from:

  1. DO NOTHING
  2. Menu with options
  3. Instant sleep
  4. Shutdown


Other operating systems have managed this. I don't know why Apple insists on suddenly foisting a particular behaviour on people, especially when poor design decisions have been made on the placement of power keys on some devices in the first place.
