It was meant as a sarcastic remark (and as such rather inconstructive, I apologize) towards those who want to impose whatever inconsistent idea Windows has come up upon the rest of us. "Move-when-in-same file system, copy-when-across filesystems for drag and drop" is just another such case, which might be marginally defended on Windows (they have drive letters, after all) and becomes outright dangerous on Unixen. As a personal note, I am very happy without any trashcan. On the contrary: I dropped Gnome because it was accreting far too many gimmicks of this kind.
