UX Suggestion/Better Defaults: Increase default mass of eraser tool

Summary:

Currently, the eraser tool has a default mass (inertia) of 0. This creates some problematic results upon usage (see Image below). I think it will be better to have the mass set to a higher value (eg.2/3). Related to #90 (Better Defaults)

Steps to reproduce:

  • open Inkscape
  • Create a rectangle using rectangle tool
  • Use eraser tool (check if mass = 0)
  • Erase part of the rectangle to get a wavy pattern

What happened?

  • End result is not as smooth as one might expect (image attached)

What should have happened?

  • Smoother wavy parts
