Comment(by caesarsgrunt):

 Yes, after being told and seeing it in action once or twice then of course
 most users of average intelligence will be able to remember.

 My point is that an interface shouldn't be so unintuitive that users have
 to be told and see it in action once or twice and then have to remember
 why there are two links serving the exact same purpose.

 If you look back at the original ticket and ensuing discussion, you'll see
 that my proposal created no accessibility problem as it uses the concept
 progressive enhancement, as used in the rest of WP and any accessible
 website. This means that if users do not have the required javascript to
 use Quick Edit, they are presented with the old edit link. Furthermore, I
 mentioned the idea Quick Edit could contain a link to "Advanced Edit".

 There is no accessibility loss caused by this suggested change, just a
 usability fix.
