Comment:

 > To a certain extent, yes, menus have made it much easier to reorder
 content, but only if you plan on using menus to list content.

 Are you saying people use menu_order to display a full list of pages, with
 content and all?

 > And what about other custom post types that support `page-attributes`?

 What about them? The UI is the same, still sucky.

 > By all means, remove the bits from the meta box on the edit screen and
 quick edit, but either replace the ui/ux in the list tables (drag n drop?)
 or leave it alone.

 I agree with that. It's easy to fall into the trap of removing features in
 the name of simplicity, without providing alternatives. A current example
