One more thought on this issue. This has largely been argued as a philosophy/
personal preference issue. Of course, human interface is a science (sort of).
It should in principle be possible to program some of the alternatives, and
set people to using them for a few months. The difficult part of course is an
objective measure... I am not convinced by any of this that warping the
cursor is better than warping a tool palette, but if someone is prepared to
program both, I'm prepared to try both.
