At #12: I think we just disagree here. I prefer a simple mental model, you prefer a tool that always shows what is currently changing. I would then argue: what happens for undo-redo, would this toggle resources on and off? Also, tools like Gimp or photoshop also support my position [1]: If you make a layer invisible in gimp and draw into the image, the layer is modified though there is no visual feedback. I also argue that your implementation is harder to get right because it has more cross-dependencies between tools and UI.

For now I suggest we submit this as is and see if people actually have trouble with the simple mental model - we can always revisit in the future.
