The goal with desktop distros seems to be "The user should not have to touch 
the command line".

KDE has a trash system setup, I'm sure GNOME must as well.

Both Konqueror and Dolphin (File managers in Kubuntu) default to move to 
trash.

If the user is using the command line, I'd hope they know what they're doing.
