The inplace vs not is just the only difference that I noticed in the context of dask-backed xarray objects.
From this discussion I think for dask-backed objects we should recommend using `compute`. Maybe that is enough of a decision.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1319621859

I think removing `load` probably makes the most sense. Making `load` an alias for `compute` would just continue the confusion since there wouldn't be a clear right way to do things.
> I somehow assumed `compute` would only work with `dask` while `load` would also load our lazy array implementation into memory. Not sure how I got that impression, but maybe that's another argument to remove / align `load`?
I'm not quite sure I follow. Are there lazy array implementations other than dask in xarray?","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 1, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,1319621859
