It's not obsolete in exactly the same way that adding a keyboard shortcut for some action does not make a menu item and tool button for the same action obsolete.

I can understand the desire to keep a button or shortcut for an action. But dialog is a whole different thing. Getting rid of another dialog is a huge win, if only because of the atrocious way GTK handles them. It will also consolidate our code, get rid of tons of ancient kludges, and close a boatload of bugs and RFEs as no longer relevant.

Come on - if no one improved the dialog thus far, chances that someone will work on it now, with much more convenient way of doing the same on canvas, are virtually zero.
