The way it's implemented now, the node tool is the most convenient way of moving a point in a point layer. One click, as opposed to two steps, selecting a point and then using the move tool to move it.

I agree that disabling the vertex tool for point layers is a good
idea.  It will improve consistency and avoid confusion.
A separate tool for moving a part of a multi-geometry would be
useful.

Hi Saber,

Delete a single point (part) in a multi-point layer with remove part tool (as you would with e.g. a multi-polygon layer). Move single point in a multi-point layer: There is no option to move a part in a multi-line or multi-polygon layer either (or I am not aware of it). Why is it different for multi-point? If there is a need to move parts in a multi-* layer, a dedicated tool should be established IMHO covering all cases.

Do not misunderstand me, I really do not bother but I started thinking about the tool's behaviour for point layers during this thread and IMHO the behaviour is not consistent:
1) the tool is called _node_ but it works on _points_, too
2) It can be used to move/delete single point geometries or parts of multi-points, but it cannot be used to move parts when editing lines or polygons (neither single nor multi), furthermore for deleting parts there is another tool that does exactly the same.
