No, I think the difference is that I completely control when something gets 
deleted for good, and within two days, if I don't need the deleted files 
because of a mistake, they are gone.  The system I see you all raving about 
could potentially leave files that were intended to be deleted hanging around 
for a very long time without the user being aware of it.

I really don't see the benefits.  I haven't really seen any compelling 
arguments for this other than people saying they like the idea.  Why?
