no, for me it is not. I use masking to show and hide elements. It's an artistic choice and it's part of my *output* processing. Sometimes I want to show as many people as possible in a scene. Other times I want to mask all of them away.

The major problems I see with manual masking and for which I want a GUI's support are, in order of priority: 1. the ability to see through the layers when deciding what and where to mask 2. masking difficult areas - this is projection related (try masking at the nadir of an equirect) both can be solved technically, 1. with a display of overlapping images prior to blending 2. by making this display dynamic and movable I think we have an underlying misunderstanding about what makes the connection between input and output. For you it is a stitched and blended panorama. For me it is a bunch of aligned layers.
