Comment 13 for bug 430745

> I do have an expertise that I can lend.
In what field and with what software?

> Self teaching:[...]
Why didn't you read the statusbar? Really, i'm not being sarcastic.

> I use a tablet and my keyboard is not always readily available.
Do you realize that this is a REALLY important fact that you didn't tell? ;) Now that you shed that light this could be expanded to a full transformation mode specially for tablet users, where keyboards modifiers appear on canvas as small helper widgets, not just for transformations but every tool.

> Don't bother getting angry
I'm not ;)

> We are not in an elite club here, this is the ultimate democracy and a lot of great ideas are floating around, just keep your mind open.
With all due respect, to me you're the one missing the point. Being partial to an idea is not the same as being unfair to you. The best software is not the one which agglomerates all the ideas floating around, but the one which implements the best ideas in a cohesive way. To me, your idea is good but needs development. There are already a lot of questions that you left unsolved. I'm not picking you, I'm encouraging you to improve your work.

> I also work on an open source application as a UI designer (MyPaint)
I like your app.

> and when we disagree, we table our ideas and try to find a middle ground
That's what I did in comment #10 ;)

> we don't freak out.
I didn't ;)

> And usually that middle ground is better than both ideas individually.
Again, read my comment #10.

One last thought: the fact that I'm persistent and vehement with my opinions doesn't mean I want to put people off.

Best regards.
