On the surface it sounds like its more flexible than what GIMP currently has 
but it also seems as if it could be a bit overwhelming to a user with 9 
inputs and 42 settings.

What is an input vs. a setting? Do all brushes have 42 settings or is that 
the total across all brushes? What is the maximum number of settings a user 
would see for a selected brush?

The testers are going to hate you. With so many inputs, settings, and states 
it will be a bit of a nightmare to make sure every combination has been 
tested and is working properly.
