How "power users" are used to it matters very little to me. A real power
user knows the series of key-commands to hit to execute it without the
mouse at all -- I have a set of perfectly valid reasons -- debate those
please.

Please cite the study that shows that _any_ users know how to use the
revert function in their software. I would bet you that most copies of
Word 2000 don't even have the revert function displayed (since they
eventually hide unused menu options).

You've made no point except "maintain status quo because I like it."
Please cite reasons and examples to support leaving an option alone that
I believe is both incorrectly placed by usage and improperly labelled by
function.
