You call it "soft selection" and bulia called it "node sculpting".

I don't know if it is the same - at least in vector editors I never saw "soft selection", it seems to be a 3D term. But even if it's similar, I really find it way too confusing to use - it makes me think that I have to select nodes in some special "soft" way which is not the case. The selection is just regular selection, it's not "soft" by itself. This feature is about what you do _to_ selection, so "sculpting" is much more to the point.
Its not that your selecting it in a 'soft' way, its that it behaves like a soft body when you move it rather than a rigid body. It is mainly a 3d term and i agree, sculpting is a more immediately understandable name for it. Dont really care what we call it, just glad to have it :)
