As someone happy to tinker, I don't let ease (or lack thereof) get in the way of my experiences of a product or service. Though there is definitely benefit in learning new things, it is often a barrier of entry for people. People are hesitant to learn things generally out of fear or more often; laziness. They just want things to do as they expect.

I bring this up because I just discovered that there was no option to delete an icon from the task bar upon right-clicking it. Searching through the Trisquel forums, I found that I had to do alt+right-click to find the delete option. I wasn't sure where else to look for this information and I find it hard to imagine I would've found it without an internet connection.

As someone migrating from windows, this is something that I just expected would be there, and was taken aback when it wasn't. Little things like this is enough to deter people from adopting new products or services, no matter how trivial it is.

I shouldn't have to hold down the Alt key! /s

Would it be possible to put something like this in the right-click menu?
