Forward-delete is there -- the current standard Apple extended keyboard ("Pro Keyboard") has a forward delete key to the side. Laptop users can use fn-delete to forward-delete.
The Terminal is however bit wonky and nonstandard (but that's OK, since if you don't know this stuff, you probably shouldn't be there).
Control-D to forward-delete in the Terminal. Check out http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20020 904063406236 for more, or type bindkey (switch to tsch first, if you're using bash).
You can also option-click in the Terminal to place the cursor with the mouse.
Google before you rant, buddy. ;)
