So Ryan, what exactly is it you want to occur?

Do you want AI to write into its user prefs file the current active tool whenever the program is quit, and select that tool whenever the program is next launched?

Or do you want yet another general app-level preference by which the user can set which tool will be active everytime the program is started?

Or do you want a document-specific setting that gets written into the document file so that that file opens with the last-used tool active?

This request wouldn't even appear on my feature list. If it existed, I'd trade it away a thousand times just to get AI to startup and quit as quickly as most other programs I use do.

I think it's all much ado about nothing. White pointer, black pointer; I'd rather just see a single gray pointer that does both as part of a much improved overall selection interface.

I can live with selecting the tool I want to use whenever the program finally does open.
