I don't know who make these decisions, but for what it's worth: I agree with the observation above. Also: It has always been Backspace (as long I remember), and there's no good reason to change it and annoy all us "old-timers" =)

Instead, you have to press ALT- left arrow, which is much more complex, as well as non-intuitive (non- intuitive in the sense that many users tend to use backspace to go back in browsers).
