Comment (by Oktoplus):

 Replying to [comment:36 seanegan]:
 > Similar example: when we got rid of the 'Send' button, it turned out
 that the Enter keybinding is also not obviously discoverable. But typing
 your message and hitting Enter is way more efficient than typing your
 message, switching over to the mouse, and hitting a Send button. By
 removing the Send button, we removed the more obvious feature, but forced
 people to use the better one.

 Well, regarding that one... What about me being lazy and just dragging a
 link from Firefox with my mouse? Then I need to get my hand off the mouse
 and press Enter. An option for a send button would be nice, too ;) You
 see: Different users, different needs.
