Yes, the concern is that tool buttons *do* have a fixed size, and I
really don't think we should scale them. The interface is IMHO
better with the resize steps. There is no reason to have non-square
buttons, because it doesn't exactly look good or professional.

By looking at the screenshot I don't think this is true; to the contrary, I like the look with more space around the buttons, and expect that I would find it easier to use because it's (a) a bigger target, but more importantly, (b) I find it a challenge sometimes to find a tool in the newer versions because many of them tend to blend together for me.  I think more spacing like this makes them more distinct and easier to discern.
