Like I pointed out in my previous mail on this thread, I use the paintbrush as a "fine tuning" tool together with the "real" tool I am drawing with. And if it is the paintbrush, then there is no way to toggle fast between those.. clicking a checkbox every time instead of pressing a shortcut key sounds clumsy. > > I'm all for removing the Path Tool, the Xinput Airbrush and and merging > Pencil and Paintbrush.

Wasnt the path tool intended as a replacement for the current bezier tool anyway? So it's button was only temporary until it was ready for use. Is it alive anymore?
