For me, with deletion, in all cases it's better. Given that it's sometimes really hard to undelete (or technically impossible, as in the case of an FTP client, for example), I'd rather get the confirmation box before the deletion is done.

Not in all cases. GMail deletes without prompting, but adds a notification about what happened, with an 'Undo' link. You may be right about cases where it is technically impossible to undelete, but I think in most cases it's preferable to make undeleting easier than to show message boxes.
