The one single tool that I think is critical: fill

Except to discover what they do, my son has never used
the 'thin' and 'thicken' tools. I think this is partly
because they don't really work, and partly because they
often don't appear to do anything. If somebody can find
a way to fix the tools, including a color-agnostic
treatment of lines, I'd like them to stay. Otherwise,
they should go. (a red line on blue should thicken, and
not just because of a change to treat blue as being
darker than red)

When asked which tools are good and which are yucky,
my son chose only drip as being yucky. This is a bit
of a surprise to me, since he initially liked it. I
think he just liked the sound; perhaps the sound could
be recycled for something else.
