That way you can switch as quickly. But you get the advantage that the brush is also nicely scaled with the new brush size control in the paint tool options. While this also works with pixmap brushes, parametric brushes scale a lot nicer. IMO we should only keep pixmap brushes for brushes that can not be implemented as parametric ones. > hard and soft circles, hard and soft squares, hard and soft > "calligraphy" brushes, maybe > a wider set of "grunge" brushes.

We should probably also throw out some old ones then or move them to gimp-data-extras. Adrian, perhaps you want to take this overhaul of the brushes set into your hands? Would be good to have a single person to coordinate the effort and to make sure that a nice coherent set of brushes ends up in CVS at some point.
