Meanwhile some complaints about the LACK of cut from a few users, on that very "news" that Apple finally introduced 'cut' (in 2012!)...
'The God is Crazy':
"Unbelievable. I just bought my first Mac a week ago.
I’ve used computers since the 80s, and I read today about this “the long-awaited feature” called cut and paste? ???????? SERIOUSLY? I have to wait all these years for this to happen? Remember this you Mac users, “10 fingers are faster than one mouse, any day”. Learn to use a keyboard like the rest of the world. Feel that pain in your shoulder? That’s because you’re dependent on using a mouse."
Jack:
"The Mac OS sucks for file management, if you’re computer literate.
Lack of “cut” is just the beginning. And yes, I have learned all the keystrokes, know how to drag and drop and all the bells and whistles. I finally bought a Mac couple of weeks ago, and have been doing nothing but learn how stupid this OS is, and how Apple has forced you into doing things their way. Also astonishing is how uninformed MAC users are about Windows. They’re like a cult group who have been fed myths and superstitions about another tribe. "
Verboze:
"While this feature may be wasted on the average mac user who has trouble grasping the notion of cutting & pasting a file, you will find that power users will welcome this (more so than Mom and Dad). As someone who does things MUCH faster with a keyboard, I find the notion of having to open multiple windows and drag files around a bit limiting"
Cee202:
"best advice ever post on this or any other website."
...I'll stop there!

In response, I give you....Robert Maroon:
"@Andy I agree. As a matter of fact there is no mention of “cut” because otherwise the various mentally challenged users
would think that the files are held in a limbo till the paste operation.
As you can see in various at forums,
many users claim that “cut&paste” is going to destroy data in case a power loss happens between the cut and paste operation.
Strangely enough my 55 years old father knows better and understands the principle that a forced move (holding command) performs exactly as a cut&paste, without the semantic burdens."
