How is this module different from the User Cancellation module? It would be nice to see a comparison on the User Delete project page.

I to would be interested to know the difference, if any.

I am using User Cancellation instead of User Delete for 2 reasons:

1) User Cancellation allows for configuration of nodes that are retained (set to uid=0. I assume the others disappear, but I haven't tested yet)
2) The delete button says "delete my account" instead of just "delete."

I think 2) above is important because while I was just learning drupal I actually deleted my admin account while trying to delete my user picture. Here's the scenario - I go to the user picture part of "edit my account," click the "delete my picture," and proceed to the bottom of the form. Because I'm in "delete mode" I'm thinking "delete"; I'm not thinking "subit my delete picture request." Yes, there is a confirmation screen afterword, but I know what I'm doing, right?

Having the "delete my account" beside the "submit" button helps me re-align my (or my users') thought process should the same scenario come up again.

I suggest to the Drupal people that this wording (delete my account) should be the default, and also I believe the emphasis on the confirmation form should be on "cancel" rather than on "delete."

shawnpetriw, please weigh in on the issue of improving the wording when deleting accounts (user 1, in particular) at http://drupal.org/node/46149
