I don't care about religion - the important thing is that
<delete-previous-character> is easily configured for both warring
factions.

Ask the man on the street - I'll bet 99.99% of persons who use a
keyboard will reach for the key that says "Backspace" when they make a
one-key typo, and not go hunting for "Delete".

I use a Win32 desktop system to talk to all the systems where I work,
and don't want to context switch to Del-for-backspace if I happen to be
in a certain window.
