Whats wrong with the "foreground selection" tool?

There is nothing wrong with the "foreground selection" but it is not as easy as the Background Eraser tool from Paint Shop Pro XX.
Try it and you will see.

I think easy here means human-understandable. "Foreground selection" won't click in the minds of some people, I guess.

The "foreground selection" tool doesn't work the same as the Background Eraser tool in Paint Shop Pro XX.
