I generally agree with that. Dialogs and stuff are not very modern. We
still
should not violate the usability principle of error tolerance, though. 
But that does not mean we need to ask for confirmation for everything.
The better way to be error tolerant is to be able to reverse any mistake
easily. I don't want to be asked "Do you really want to?" whenever I do
something with possibly irreversible consequences. But when I do make
a mistake, I want to be able to get the previous state back as easily as I
made
the mistake.
