What, ctrl-Z doesn't undo? That would be bad!
I'm pretty sure it didn't in the first 2.0 release and there was no context menu on some types of buffer. Also, how the devil would anyone guess ctrl-Z was now undo instead of background?
The devil would know this from being a Windows user already ;-)
Undo should be on ctrl-slash, to slash the previous edit to bits. The other 'pictorial' shortcuts, like ctrl-K (scissors, to cut, or kill) and ctrl-Y (a paste knife, to paste, or yank), should also have remained IMO.
And this is why you have a choice because you are not alone in your opinion.
