Probably this should be discussed a little bit more. There's a particular situation where having an opaque original makes very hard to use a transform tool: when you paste a layer that is bigger than the image area and you have to scale it down to a desired size. You simply can't see the background because the opaque original is in front, so you can't apply the transformation with precision. The same applies when you have to rotate an element to match an angle of something that is behind the layer that you want to transform. I can think of a couple more of examples where this situation makes very hard to work. There's a workaround, that is lowering the original layer opacity then transforming, but it's not very handy (you have to do that and then remember to raise the opacity after you apply each transformation). This makes working with transformations quite slow and tedious. If it's possible to directly hide the original, I'd prefer that option until the GEGL porting of the display code is ready, even knowing that the transformation proxy isn't very accurate. I'd like to know how other users feel about this.
