Hey Bart.. Another Blender3D person here!
As far as useability, goes- im that That fussed. though I tend towards
the more common row of buttons under the button your pressing (alligned
to the right/left)
This is simple because your not limited to a 4 options. (okay 5 would
work but look silly) and since a diagonal button is not a part of the
options but still outlined somewhat, (in barts example the measurement
tool is outlined on 3 sides, though I can tell its not an option, a
quick click and select may be more confusing in this case.)
its better to just have a row//
Another resion to use a left/right aligned row. is that many people
place there toolbars at the side of there screen. no5. would have the
LHS button off the screen.
Still I like the idea of having nested buttons, especialy for the
transform tools that I rarely use but need to access.

Hi,
just a proposal about a smaller toolbar and a way grouping of buttons
in the toolbar (not about what kind of buttons belong to which
specific group and there position etc.).

That seems pretty....
However, from a usability standpoint it might be much harder to use
than just a straight line of buttons popping up either below or to the
right. (Similar to the "don't have to stop and look for it" position
for the Mac OS menubar on the screen not the window).
There could be an argument for it becoming second nature, like
Graffiti moves on a Palm, but then you also have to commit to keeping
the popups' relative locations in the same spots forever.
Also, while some people work more naturally with mouse gestures,
others do not.
