[Zope] "Add" button is gone in Zope 2

[Alexander Staubo]

I notice that the folder contents screen has been changed in Zope 2: the
"Add" button is gone, and instead the "add new object" combo box now
automatically adds an object when you select the metatype to insert.

I doubt that this is a good design choice. First of all, this certainly
isn't how combo boxes normally behave. Secondly, personally I tend to
browse a combo box with the mouse or the keyboard. Certainly the latter
isn't possible now. The "Add" button is an imperative command ("add
this!"), and automatically _assuming_ I want to add an object because I
chose a metatype from a list isn't. If it were a link, it'd be
different, because links are implicitly imperative ("go here!"), but
HTML selects/combo boxes really are not.

Having the good old "Add" button adds one extra click to every add
operation. Now, how much an improvement is the new method really, I ask,
compared to the pains incurred by changing standard behaviour?
