Can someone explain why we think we want the ability to run rm
directly from unity anyway? Is there a single person who wants this
functionality who doesn't have a terminal open all of the time anyway?
rm is a bad example. But being able to restart compiz using "compiz
--replace" without opening a terminal and running "nohup compiz
--replace" is a good reason to keep it around. Or to quickly open a
root nautilus. (Which itself is an example of situations when it
should not be necessary to run a command) Stuff like that.
Just for historic reference: The Alt-F2 mode in Unity was added because
there was a *major* uproar from users that it was gone, when we
transitioned from the Gnome2 panel. So we added it back.
Personally I don't get what people use it for instead of just having a
full featured terminal around, but apparently it is very important to a
lot of people. So I accept that :-)

Mikkel
