ls -p and -F are still useful. Removing -p and -F is similar to removing 3d widgets from user interfaces and then wondering why users don't know what is an interactive ui element in modern UIs (which happen to look like Windows 1.0). I won't understand the desire to shuffle things around just to make things seem fresh, mostly user interfaces but other things too. Emacs is a good example what stable interfaces can get you. Users have been carrying around their ~/.emacs.d for 30 years and it's working on their Raspberry Pi just like it did on HPUX.
