Maybe it should be moved to the gradient tool. The option widget would get a 
bit bloated, but that's better than waiting three minutes until you see the

Wouldn't that lead to another inconsistency? You would have two activated 
gradients at a time, but only one brush even though there is also an 
autobrush.
