Illustrator 88's pen tool worked better than this one
Please, please... does anyone at Adobe actually draw with the current pen tool? This is the main tool in your toolbox and it hasn't had a good flow since Illustrator 10. You should be able to draw and use modifier keys to change to the +, - and ^ with ease. Instead, the cursor flashes and gives you one teensy moment when any of those are available resulting in additional points being placed when you might, for instance, be trying to remove a point. The direction handles get in the way of reaching points. Segments are selected too easily when you are trying to get a point. It's just too touchy and a miserable ghost of the original pen tool.
In trying to accommodate "new features", you have reduced the ability to create precision. And you have caused me to throw my Wacom pen across the room ...multiple times.
Bring back simplicity. Mess with other programs.
We would like to understand more about this request. Please me us know if you can talk to us on a call to demonstrate the issues in detail.
Thanks,
Yogesh
