Your point is well taken, but saying shift+del is just as easy is a bit 
misleading. There is no shift+del option in the edit menu, nor is there 
one in the right click context menu. One is forced to use the keyboard 
to perform a delete.

Yes, the idea of the gui is to make things easier on the user. One way 
it does that is to allow many actions to be performed with the mouse.

You can paint the bike-shed chartreuse if you like. This isn't a 
make-or-break issue, just my opinion.
