I agree. Here is my del-line function:

(defun del-line (&optional arg)
  "Delete arg (def=1) lines (kill)"
  (interactive "P")
       (barf-if-buffer-read-only)
       (let ((inhibit-field-text-motion nil)) 
           (and (eq major-mode 'shell-mode)
                (setq inhibit-field-text-motion t))
           (delete-region (line-beginning-position 1) (line-end-position (or 
arg 1)))
           (or (eobp)
               (delete-char 1))))

Of course I have different key (S-delete) for this function (and I use
it in all buffers - it deletes a whole line with 1 key).

Ehud.
