That I'll agree with.  The tool sat in tuhopuu for a month and a half, and I 
got exactly 1 comment on RMB.  It went the wrong way....

This again comes down to the point that it's difficult to draw accurately with 
the mouse, and the original intent of the tool (which was to selectivly add 
geometry to a mesh).  It escentially gives a "loop cut", but the loop can be 
defined arbitrarily as opposed to Goofster's loop algorithm.  One click (or 
one extra enter, since Pupmenu remembers last choice), to possibly avoid 
having to move dozens of verts.

I agree that "50%" is less useful now that MMB and polyline are working than 
it was,  but I don't know if it's less useful enough to drop.
