Though sliders are nice to adjust when things dont have a 'enumerated' nature like "tilt sensitivity" - it is hard to justify what a setting of "35" does, but having a slider is easier since you can visualize the range easier.. But I am not really sure what the ideal solution would be.. For percentage-type stuff (0-1 values) sliders are good (like for opacity) Maybe the spinbutton would be ok after all, testing it in practice would give more ground to judge the stuff.. It's a lot about how you are used to doing different things and how long you have been using a feature..
