It's interesting that you bring that up.. because I've always though of "remove" or "rm" as being very permanent.. a command to be careful with. I'm sure a lot of fellow linux users feel the same way.
Whereas "delete" in a GUI OS just moves things to the trash, which can be undone. But this all falls apart in the examples many of you have stated... especially in apps that have sub-lists that act independently from the main list (library) ... It looks like this is an area that could use some work and consistency. Realistically, all my linux biases aside, "remove" does sound less drastic than "delete" ... My favourite linux/unix command has always been "kill" .. so I'm not one to talk about drastic sounding commands.
