"you want to draw a line, but accidentally create a gradient fill." If you pay attention , you always know what tool you've selected ,so it is not really an issue. And just stating something is bad without proposing an alternative is just bashing for the sake of bashing. That's not interesting. Complex tools require complexe interfaces. Not everything should or need to be simple. I dont like ergonomists/designers that just say something is bad without thinking about context. We are not talking about PAINT, but a professional software that needs to do many things. Photoshop has issues , but mode in photoshops are not a problem. Photoshop is supposed to be used by an audience that will take the time to learn it and understand it. It is not a tv or a car stereo where nobody bother read the doc. You cant master photoshop without learning it , it's interface has its own logic one needs to learn.
