that may have to do with the fact that in regular editors, the primary editing
is line oriented. in emacs, the editor (or the modes) recognizes the text
being edited and give you higher level constructs such as word, paragraph,
sentence (in regular text), sexp (in programming) etc, that you don't "fall
back" to line editing.
i use C-M-k to delete sexps, C-c-C-o to delete multiple consequitive blank
lines etc. and therefore find that kill-entire-line is something i'll use
only when none of the other constructs are available. not to say that i don't
use C-k, it's just that given a bunch of other higher level constructs and
functions to operate on those constructs, C-k has limited use. in most other
editors, delete line is about as high level a construct as it gets.
maybe that explains why, to someone coming from another editor, the omission
seems grave.
