I've known players who play without macros in the past, one of which actually played here for a short time. Of course people do this to have a more RPish feel. Not everyone wants macros, granted its rare to find that hardcore RPer these days.
That being said I really don't see the damage in allowing it. Even if we allowed it, they would still take the extra second to open the book and click the spell icon... its not like this would give them some crazy advantage. If the only argument is that they need to learn, well we shouldn't force any player to do anything, the choice is up to them.
Honestly though, I just don't see this as being a priority at all no matter how you look at it. Its such a rare occasion that someone logs into UO and not know what could happen if they lurk out of town. It does happen... but not often at all.
