Something as simple as that would improve radiants inmensely for me. A little better texture placement tools would be nice too, but the most important is the selection clicking to work like any other program in the world

I've always liked the way just clicking on the screen creates a brush. Quick and dirty. It's especially helpful to me if I already have a decent idea of what I'm going for atm. Personal preference which goes back to the customizable bind cfg.

I work with 3 or 4 modelling/mapping tools at once, and it's a pita when they work basically the same excepting at the point where I focus radiant. I'm not against the brush drag-build thing, but for coherency between applications the just-click should be "select" as at every other application, and the drag-build should be a tool as the clipper is, with its own key combo. Specially because when lacking the most basic select you have to loose time deselecting before selecting, and in most cases that means hitting ESC several times.

I think the tree information could be written into the actual map file as comments.
