Correct me if I'm wrong, but layers that it's amount doesn't mean opacity
aren't affected by this default widget. So if the thing is a question of
nomenclature, why don't we change the parameter name from amount to opacity
at the layers where it means that?

I'm not in favour of just remove the widget but better allow expose it or
not to save space. This way everyone is happy ^__^ Pulling this to the
absurd, why do we need the default brush or the default color widgets? I
think that it is very helpful to allow to change the default construction
parameters that in my opinion, the opacity is one of the basics.
