Sure, "whatever".

Do you mean it's OK to disable "+" and "-" and replace them with Crlt+drag for zooming? If that is what you imply with your argument about "downgrading" (which I did not ask for), then your argument about downgrading falls flat. Keeping "+" and "-" is not downgrading, but removing it amounts to exlusion of certain groups (to which any of us might belong one day).
