Firstly...."Do you use your needle, a seam ripper, or something else when you have to frog stitches? Why do you use the method that you do?"
I have a pair of scissors with a hook like shaped blade on side that I use from time to time on the larger areas. Naturally I remove as little as I can get away with and still be happy with how it looks.
Other than that I use my needle the most to either~ undo where I had laid the securing stitches on the back and pull through the front or to lift the thread enough (the hook scissors are too large on higher counts to be able to use those) to slide my real sharp scissors under and snip away what I need to remove. If there is a section that was fine I try to resecure it on the back. If I can't get it "just right" I redo the entire section.
Hmm, why? Each projects has a different reason I guess.
And.....SBQ was suggested by Danielle and is:
"Do you find yourself stitching faster when you are getting to the end
of a design?" Um yup! Or at least is seems that way. Nothing like a huge frogging episode near the end to really make me mad!

You're braver than I, to use scissors to rip out offending stitches. Eek. I just know I'd cut the background fabric, and miss the floss. LOL
