Perhaps you could list specific characteristics of a Pencil tool that
would not suck? :)

If the general idea is to make the Pencil tool (more) useful, pointing
out existing deficiencies, then sketching a proposal would be a lot
more constructive.

This part of the conversation puzzles me. Elle is acknowledged
contributor to GIMP as per AUTHORS, but you aren't. So how come _you_
welcome _her_ input? And who is that "we" that can put the
functionality somewhere else? Am I missing a vital point here?
