The problem with the usecases it that there are some things that you can't
put into a usecase.
Especially the basic layout of the toolbox is not very dependent on the use
e.g. the user might want to have all tool in one column, but that doesn't
affect the actual work.

In Krita you can manipulate pixels and shapes with different tools and at
the moment all tools are shown at the same time. You can do everything, but
you have to select the right tool. Depending on which type of layer you are,
you can't use some of the tools.
