Comment 36 for bug 1649958

At #34: I am sorry if it was unclear in #30, but I do not want to implement this feature - not because it is hard, but because I find it adds unnecessary complexity. This has been my goal and argument all along: let's try to reduce complexity and a use a simple mental model. I think I also laid out good arguments:

- do not couple tools to visualization. It is not what gimp and co does - so would be unexpected - and it decouples everything to simple toggles which are easy to understand.
- do not combine animals + immovable. Animals have their own tool, are already a separated thing so toggling them separately is a simpler mental model. And I also wanted to have this independence when I designed maps.
- As for hotkeys, I really like your geometric arguments (buttons next to each other), but argued that this is hard across different keymaps. So I suggested something along those lines, but different. Moreso my believe is that good hotkeys will make the 'x' feature you wanted unnecessary.

> Moreover this will be my last attempt at Widelands as the ways of development here I find quite odd and bullyish. Have a nice day!

This is sad, I'd hate to see you not contribute anymore. I think you brought up quite a few useful discussions and feature requests. But after rereading everything said in the three merge requests and in this bug report and not finding fundamental flaws in communication: only work and suggestions were critiqued (which is the point of a discussion), never was any personal worth but in question, so I do not see bullying. I think that if you do not enjoy this kind of technical discourse then you will not find joy in the development process of software. I hope you will reconsider.
