That's the plan, eventually. Some of the tools (mainly the stroke drawing) might be reused for drawing curves too (NURBS and Bezier I mean).

Quick "mode" already does that, the problem with the second point is that the data structures aren't part of the undo system, so operator tweak doesn't do anything (that will have to be fixed too).

That's not the only mode of operation though, persistent strokes with overdrawing and adjustment gestures is useful too.

Agreed. A visibility toggle (for normal mode) might be useful too though.
