It may have escaped your attention, but
  - space for forwards and backspace for backwards is an old
    convention that was in use before even MS-DOS existed;
    worked fine
  - the space and delete keys are much bigger than the arrow keys
    and are therefore easier to hit; they are _more_ usable for
    people with shaky hands.
