View submission: Is toolbox still useful?
It still offers more than new reddit does in terms of what it provides. Because of that I use old.reddit to moderate and have toolbox configured well for use.
to me, your statement of "it appears to me that most of the features (removal reasons, mod notes, etc.) of this extension are built into modern versions of Reddit" is the same as saying "new reddit is almost as good as old reddit for moderation". Almost is great in the game of horseshoes. However in real life if there is even 1 feature that I need that I can have configured and available at my fingertips to ease my job of moderation, why would I not use it? thus why would I use "almost as good new.reddit" to "better old.reddit with toolbox"?

That's fair. From my standpoint it's more like, "New Reddit is *already good enough*, does this extension add enough major features on top of that to justify going to the trouble of installing one more browser extension?"
It's not "almost" good enough. It works great and I'm happy with it. That doesn't mean there's not something even better out there that might make my life easier, which is why I thought it was worth getting more info about this when I heard it recommended during Mod World.
So far it sounds like it's a good tool for people who either don't want to update from Old Reddit or who are unsatisfied with the official implementation of these tools and want more flexible versions. Thank you for the information.
