Comment 2 for bug 1360804

The Gear icon fits well in the tools icon set, but IMHO :

- He's the only icon from this set used in those three apps
- He look a lot like prior linux classic gear icons

Actually this gear icon (and maybe midori fav icon) was the first thing that I thought was out of place while watching elementary design UI for the first time. It was popping from the interface while the rest seemed really coherent. I discovered your work and this issue with this article : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/04/elementary-os-isis-video-demo-speed .

I thought it would be replaced during the alpha process.

Why I think it's bad that it looks so different from the rest of the UI ?

Mostly because it may grab the user attention, while it's just a third party action button.
