What makes sense in UI? For example, a trashbin for deleted files. An envelope for an e-mail program. A places folder for the file browser,...
Oh, by the way, you can use the arrows for navigating the cursor and that actually makes more sense than using the mouse, since you've got your fingers on the keyboard anyway, when editing the file-name.
I don't think it's a good idea to merely copy a feature because windows is using it, In particular if many many users complain about it. If it's going to be copied, it should be done in such a way that it doesn't bother a whole lot of users. It should be better than what windows has to offer.
Following your argument, ubuntu should merely copy the windows interface including all of it's bugs just because users are used to it. That's no good and it wont make ubuntu No. 1 in terms of usability. So maybe you have a suggestion, how the annoying problem can be overcome that many users very often mistakenly start editing file names when this feature is implemented? It really annoyed me a lot!
