But it was too late. I didn't lose all my files, but I lost too many.

Well, you are responsible for that what you are doing. Would you really
like it in this way?
user: enters command
system: are you sure?
user: yes
system: really?
user: YES
system: would you like to reflect your decision?
user: $§%&$§

Well the Mac OS is not quite that way
the first 3 step are accurate although its actually okay or cancel, with
Cancel the highlighted choice. Gives one change to decided whether, your
okay with your decision or you willing to possibly screw up your
application or system click menu choice > windows comes up are you sure
you want to do this > Choices Cancel / Okay. You decide. slows you
down enough so you can decide whether you want to throw away that
valuable file you've worked on for a year and half or not. In UNIX,
LINUX, or even windows you put in the wrong thing, its gone. You still
have to decide , but it give you the ability to decided to screw up or not.
