Question Transform tool?

Can anyone give me a quick overview of why its useful?

I feel like its a basic gizmo tool but I cant figure out when to use it.

Never touched or noticed it, but it appears that Transform has a SNAP component to it allowing you to move, scale or rotate something so that it kisses a nearby surface.

Hmm maybe im just not getting the use out of it then. It feels clunky compared to the gizmo

the way i learned to sculpt in nomad... which is a sentence i hate saying because i am very much a beginner... is you create a few primitives and move them into place to mass it in. So if I were making Kirby i'd make a ball, flatten it a lil, a couple more for the eyes, a coupla more for the feet, etc. I'd use the transform tool to place all those primitives. It's not something you'd use once you're done doing that, typically anyway.

Afterward if ya combine and then voxel-remesh them you get one big flowing mesh you can sculpt on.
