--- Comment #38 from Chris McKenna <[email protected]> ---
It's not about aesthetics (that's the reason we have the hover) it's about
usability. 

One icon and one link would not likely slow me down considerably, but it would
seriously impact new users and those who are not as computer savvy as the
people who comment here. UIs need to consistent and accessible. There are two
editors, and they need to be accessed in the same way. One icon and one link is
guaranteed to cause confusion and it will require active thought far longer
than two of the same (blame human psychology).

Take a look at the user interfaces of all the websites and programs you use,
and look at the ones you don't regularly use because you can do the same easier
elsewhere. Notice how all the ones you think of as good are clear, intuitive
and internally consistent. This is not a coincidence.
