I used to love this extension, until it became incompatible with a new FF, whereupon I promptly ditched the mouse.
A point in support of neither: the circle is an excellent design element in gesture-related selections because all edges are equidistant from the center. Duh. The not-duh part is this: usually 8 arcs is the best division of space, but 8 is a bad number. It's not too big nor too small, and using the circle leaves you little wiggle room, such that you start constraining your design decisions to it.
When it works, it works great. When it is slightly off, it is quirky, because it is tempting to just throw in some extra options to fill up the 8 parts of the circle.
