Maybe it's just me, but just because you don't find a tool useful
doesn't really warrant outright removing it. You can always just remove
it from the toolbox yourself...

Also, with the Zoom tool you can just use click and drag to define a
specific area that is zoomed into so it fills the window - how would you
propose to do that otherwise? (Using the select tool and some kind of
Zoom to selection function isn't an option, as it destroys any
selection you have...)

Are you aware of the navigation Dialog?

http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-navigation-dialog.html

If you dock that (I keep it in a dock along with FG/BG colour,
Histogram, and Error console) it give you 1 click buttons for zoom
out, zoom in, zoom all, zoom full, and fit window to zoom, which all
work great using a tablet (which I use, too).

Luis Diego:
Yo can remove it yourself when you want.
Just go to (assuming your GIMP is in spanish, your name looks spanish to
me :-) ventanas  Diálogos empotrables  herramientas and you can
activate/de-activate any tool in the toolbox, including the zoom tool.
Despite what a lot of people say, GIMP UI allows a lot of customization.
So it has no point to discuss about the default workspace when you can
change it so easily.

hth,

Pro tip...  ctrl+mousewheel = zoom, regardless of which tool you are using.
