weird and unnecessary keys like a paragraph-sign key (do people really need that so much that it warrants its own key?!).
Some obvious functions such as right-clicking a file and choose Cut or Copy so that you can Paste it somewhere else are missing.
I never found out how to easily move or copy files in the GUI
opening two windows side by side and dragging is cumbersome!
Ultimately it comes down to personal preference ...

My keyboard has these. I believe that they are not on the small-form keyboard by design (that's what makes it small) but they are on the full-sized keyboard. At least the US keyboard that I use.
