If I can do it only when it makes sense, I would default to "don't do it". So what's the point of binding it to oh-so-convenient shortcut key, when I have to think about when I can do it? What's the different from using terminal or Makefile to run it then?

You can't do it only for very specific cases. And even `File.rm("something")` usually works because if you are removing something, you have code for creating it too, and can quickly test both with command+enter, instead of opening whole application and trying to invoke that through your gui or something.
