I'm with you about the ease of use, but I don't agree that triggers and jobs are so near to each other. In my opinion there is at least a functional difference: Triggers are needed on application level and are maintained by a developer. Jobs are helpers for database admins to keep the database "clean" or to update data (data cumulation, definition updates,...). 
But we can discuss this topic later, if it's requested by more users.

Consistency is critical to ease of use in any kind of application. If
there are different techniques used to accomplish similar tasks, then
it reduces the intuitiveness of the user interface which can lead to
user confusion.
