Yes, you're right. TortoiseBZR and other GUI frontend should make an effort to
implement natural interface.

But qmove is required some case.
For example, when move/rename is done outside a-frontend (ex, IDE
without bzr support)
TortoiseBZR couldn't support mv --after/mv --auto in shell extension. (Showing
ghost file is impossible)
Another example, perfect hook in Windows shell extension is
impossible. TortoiseSVN
can't handle rename/move without context menu. (ex F2 rename, drag
with left button)


BTW, I think move/rename feature in qbrowse widget is also useful.
It will make easy that move/rename from bzr-explorer.
