  [X] I use it like the Subselect tool in many drawing programs like
      Fireworks, LiveMotion, etc., turning it on and off as needed.

In a drawing environment I'm building for a client I've added a tool in the
tool palette for subselect, which is simply the pointer tool with the
selectGroupedControls set to true.

I wonder if others would pick it up faster if it was acessed as a standard
subselect tool from the tool palette.  There's even an empty space as though
waiting for such an addition. :)
