The difference between To: and Cc: is the difference between 'I'm talking to you' and 'I'm talking to X, but you can/should listen in (and I want X to know you can listen in)'. (To be clear, I actually have no problem with the gmail compose window's implementation of cc and bbc - it does only take one click).
