I use Linux and like it, thankyou.  Look, before you flame me again, go read
a book on user interface design.  Especially the part about how you put
dangerous things behind a several-step safety curtain.

How much effort does it take to program to print:

"Are you sure?"

and

"11 files deleted in /usr/jstok/crapola"

When you call for the deletion of an entire directory?  How much, eh?

Granted, such behaviour isn't appropriate for scripts, but it's appropriate
for most other situations.
