Hi! I should've done this __very__ earlier on the dev. cycle. But the fact is that I think developers should seriopusly consider the visibility of the "scissors tool" on the tool box. I mean - it is a good hack, it is there for historical reasons, and the graphic algorithyms behind it are nice for paper presentations and etc... But nowadays, who seriously uses it? The fact is that it "doesn't deliver" the functionality it should, and is simply awkard. The new Vectors interface from GIMP 2.0 allows one to do with vectors what the Scissors tool should be doing, only it is easier to use, and to figure out how to use. That said, I raise the question: Should the scissors tool be visible by default in the toolbox?
