I have to say, I have had to go back to BFA 1 due to an animation studio using Blender 2.79 – and.. I miss the active tools system more than the legacy tools (other than the loop middle mouse increase loops tool). The widget toggling on hotkey press that I setup and seeing the button highlight in the UI is.. just expected. I also enjoyed the old modal hotkey Applied workflows, where you activate on keypress, clickdrag move, it runs and applies (and use modals to modify structure) – then you have the widget ALSO activated on the hotkey.
I miss some of the header tools in the toolshelf, but for modeling it is alright. Reminds me a bit of trueSpace.
