Hmm, a few things:
- You _can_ use a brick separator to remove a jumper from the middle of
a large plate or baseplate, you just have to be a little careful.
- You _can_ use a brick separator to remove a large plate from the
middle of a large plate or baseplate, you just have to pry gently at
several spots around the edge until it lifts enough that you can get a
fingernail under it.
Something you didn't mention at all:
- You can use a brick separator to pop tiles from the middle of a large
plate or baseplate. The brick separator catches the thin lip at the base
of the tile. Several people have said "Gee, I didn't know you could do
that!" when I casually popped a tile off (hi Cary!).

Ha! I knew that one!
It's especially useful when you have a bunch of tiles grouped together and can't
bend whatever's underneath them to pop them off. I like to put tiles between
train tracks, for instance, when I'm creating road crossings or swanky train
stations. They're nearly impossible to remove by hand if they're 1x2 or 2x2.
