Personally, I don't use the explore command either way. But seeing as some people were making a fuss over having to press three keys ('w' then 'shift' then '/') on an American keyboard, I can see the reasoning behind the issue, and I like it. As far as the tactics go, I just use fn and f1-8 (the fn bit is because I use a laptop), so I, personally, am good on that. Voting up.
EDIT
in any case, on an American keyboard, ctrl t brings up tactics. So it still doesn't affect them.
