Thanks for pointing this out. I'd overlooked that.

I don't see why that necessarily must be the case. This is where you
can have savable brush presets. Furthermore, why can't there be a more
interactive means of adjusting hardness (and brush size for that
matter)? GIMP already had the capability to use keyboard shortcuts to
interactively adjust brush size. Why couldn't shortcuts to added to
quickly adjust hardness?
