Seb, I tend to agree that some webmasters would do better if they did less and tried not to be so "helpful" to the user. But custom back buttons can be very useful when used in presentations such as page by page instructions and slideshows without having to hardcode the HTML which (if you forgive the expletive) is a friggin' pain in the ass. :) Esspecialy when you have to code dozens of pages. If the custom back button is implimented properly the user shouldn't ever know the difference between it and a link.
