I noticed from 0.39 on the pivotpoint (the cross that on which an object rotates, i think it's called pivot) is hidden in scale mode, so only visible in rotate mode. What is the reason it hides?
The main reason is that it gets in the way of dragging object. Before it was hidden, dragging small objects was very hard - you always ended up dragging the pivot instead of the object itself.
And can it perhaps be turned into an option?
Maybe, but is it really so much of a problem to do a couple more clicks to go to rotate mode and then back? To me, the use case you describe seems too uncommon, and the workaround seems too easy, to justify adding an option.
