I think your opinion would change dramatically if you were stuck on a 
platform with Perl 5.6.  In general, I deem it not nice to sacrifice 
backwards compatibility just because _you_ do not need it.

I mean, by that argument we could scrap the whole Git UI and rewrite it 
anew: a lot of compatibility warts would Just Go Away.
