But there is still right button context menu. And one still can paste with
middle click when opening new window (tab) (since tab arrival in browser
world rather common thing to do).
   I don't think that there is real value in informing people that
inserting address isn't sufficient to go to this address. Someone already
pointed that out - you only have to learn _once_ and it's not a hard
lesson. And users are rather familiar with "enter" button making things
like confirming, so I don't see how would they be dragged to "go" button.
   The tooltip aren't exactly a solution, nor are wizards. And maybe
instead of thinking why to remove sth. it would be better to think who
might need this feature (think grandma), and what habit does it force on
user (searching enter button on keyboard _every_time_ one inserts an
address, even when he/she did it with mouse).
   I would understand, if there was problem with space on the location bar,
but I doubt it's the reason behind this discussion. And I don't use this
button, because there is "paste and go" which does the job well.
