I'm a big fan of software that does what you tell it without all the annoying 'Are You Sure' double-checking confirmation pop-ups. 

I regularly queue up a couple episodes of a show, watch them, then queue up another couple from a different show and watch (well, listen to anyway...)

I have deleted episodes of series I intended to keep because I neglected to clear or check the playlist before hitting the nuke button.

I know there are ways around it... keep deleted programs option, etc.
Just a heads up for those new to deleting playlists.

...other themes and 0.22 may have a confirmation dialog in them, I dunno. 0.21 Bluetube users beware *g*
