And yes, combined back/forward is objectively better than separate back/forward. It makes the interface simpler, and the user can see more data at the same time. There's no good argument to have them be separate.
If you'd just written that bold statement in the clear concise way you did in your previous post, I wouldn't have asked you anything in the first place. Regardless, I guess it's preference, I like having fewer buttons. It's rare that I'll ever hit the back button enough to go forward 5 or 6 pages, and I can just right click the forward arrow if I need to do that.

I see your point, but wouldn't that really only be an issue on a small monitor? All the webapps I use can easily fit in a windowed browser on the 19'' monitors I work with daily.
