It's not just an annoyance. It is actually a somewhat strange inheritance from a specific past. I'm also coming from an Windows background and feel totally free to admit that OSX is far nicer and quicker on certain issues... but feel that the 'safety arguments' about it being too riscy etcetera are a bit strange.
But, seperate from the dangerous vs easy-one-key discussion, wouldn't it be just the smartest way to allow for remapping the Delete (Forward Delete) key to those who choose to? This would enable the prudent people to keep a two-key entrance to the potential dangerous action to move items to the trashbin. And also enable other users to implement their preferences allowing for one-finger trashbinning.

I don't see the problem to solve this problem.
