For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
For me I think the literal route of modelling is a tricky one for developers. Where do you stop? Where is the coving tool or the lintel tool? You could pick any number of architectural features and complain there isn't a specific tool named for the job. I personally would be happy to see the core elements simplified to generic components e.g. a single laminated slab type object, much like the shell tool could be used for any number of applications like floors, walls, roofs, slabs and ramps it doesn't need to be called a wall but suitably tagged and layered it would provide a much simpler and consistent modelling solution. The same could be said for the column & beam tool, why do we need two tools for a linear profile? It's the same with doors, windows and now openings (in 23), why not just openings?
Just saying.
