You, yourself, have given the reason over at THR why the quote button was removed here at TFL:

Folks were quoting long posts and adding a "Me too." to it. One would think that after quoting a long post, they would edit the quote to include only the text they wanted to use, but that just doesn't happen.
Making the quote process a little more difficult than just pressing a button makes the forum threads a great deal cleaner without all the redundant text.
I do agree with you over there that the Xenforo system of using a contracted quote from a previous post is far better than the full quote system vBulletin uses.
