I think there's little value in adding an alias String.remove(x) for String.replace(x,"") . Given how huge the String API already is, I can see why they didn't want to add it. And with extension methods, you can easily add it yourself where you need it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In three and a half years I’ve yet to be on a project where I didn’t add it.
