I think everyone has his own workflow how to do things. The new annotations are a big impovement to the old ones. I think i will testing it in real world situation. And then pros and cons will come up. I used it already in rehershals and i am really pleased. The new Design requires new ways to do things. 
And the Crescendo and decrescendo are the tools i probably use the most so i am very Happy that they are so prominent. 
Btw, You could adress the select Tool or somerhing you use often to the button of the pen.
