This is why the one button mouse is a good thing. It pretty much requires developers to make their UIs better and not require contextual menus. Sure, they can be used for convienience, but the UI should NOT require you to press extra mouse buttons to get to basic features. There should be something on screen to preform the action. The day Apple ships 2 button mice standard is the day the advatnages of Apple's UI start to crumble, people will get in that right-click mindset and you'll have to be pushing extra buttons to get simple tasks done.
