Never say never, but if you get something like this:

  Dondal Buck          [delete] [edit]
  Bondal Huck          [delete] [edit]
  Donbal Tuck          [delete] [edit]
  Dandol Suck          [delete] [edit]

Then you've got an awful lot of similar buttons next to each other,
which does add clutter. It goes against the principle of as simple as
possible. It also makes it harder to use the keyboard, I think.

Right-click context menus are another possible candidate.

But YMMV, etc.,
