I actually quite like the concept of having it as a tool (I'm not a big fan of modifiers when using my tablet), but currently the option in the callig tool is much more useful to me as it has all the fixation etc options that I need to actually make it useable. The eraser is stuck on a slanted fixed angle that makes it a lot less useful than it could be. would be nice if using the eraser on the wacom in the callig tool did the alt mode, if that was the case i think i'd be fine without the seperate tool...

Now that the Eraser tool is in SVN for quite some time, what do people think of it? Is it useful? In what mode do you use it, if at all?
Disclaimer: as you may remember I was against this tool from the beginning, considering it redundant. Its Delete mode is equivalent to Alt+drag followed by Del in Selector, and its Cut mode is now equivalent to Alt+drag in Calligraphic pen which I just added:
- When drawing with <b>Alt</b>, Inkscape <b>subtracts</b> the path you
have created from the selected path (with <b>Shift</b>, it adds to the selected path). This allows you to quickly patch or fix problems in a stroke you have drawn without leaving the tool.
So, do we really have to spend the prime toolbar space on a tool which does what other tools already do?
