Wow, yea, nothing easier than the shell especially considering every command program has it's own unique syntax.
As for the trash can thing most Mac users just used the key combo to "put away". It still made more sense than guessing when the floppy wasn't in use before jerking it from under the system with a manual eject. Not only that PCs don't even calculate if the files are going to fit in their destination before copying. Brilliant (or as you would probably call it, easier to use).
Of course why anybody is discussing floppies in this day and age is beyond me.
