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.
