I beg to disagree. There are some good shortswords out there.
There is a +4 shortsword, the Shortsword of Backstabbing, Arbane's, Kundane, and Ilbratha has saved my poor thieves in melee combat more times then I can mention. In a pinch, Ilbratha (The sword that casts mirror image) can give your thief the much needed edge in toe to toe melee.
