It may be better programming practice, but is it better interactive data analysis practice? R isn't just a programming language, and there are lots of good reasons to provide shortcuts that reduce typing. It's very easy to forget that most people can't touch type at a decent speed, and every key press less helps them get their ideas from their head to the computer faster.
