Increase size of anchor points / handles
Anchor points and handles are hard to grab.
On denser displays the problem is amplified.
Hard to grab using stylus.

Please, please PLEASE do something about the Anchor Point & Handle Display nodes when working with the bezier tool. I am a freelance graphic designer. It has gotten to the point where its affecting my work and my ability to work. I’ve literally had to just get up and walk away from working on design jobs out of complete and utter frustration and anger. The amount of times I have to RETRY to select the node handle, to get it to move when & where I want it, to select the singular node handle and not the whole graphic, even though Im clicking on what LOOKS like the node handle since it is utterly SO SMALL even at the LARGEST setting AVAILABLE, it still just ends up not being the correct pin point spot, so I then I have hit undo over and over and over and over again. Im at my wits end. I do not understand why the handles need to be sooooooooooo small, with no options to make them larger and more accessible WITHOUT having to completely ZOOM IN & ZOOM OUT all day!!??!! This is %100 affecting productivity, my creativity, my mood, and literally my sanity at this point. PLEASE, Im BEGGING you to make the Anchor Point & Handle Display options more user friendly.
PLEASE?
Thank You. My mouse buttons thank you as well.

I have mentioned this MANY times. This is a huge pain **********. On my screen right now, the anchors must be about .015" in size. I can't even tell where they are other than I know where to look.

I'd like this to be customisable in preferences.

My old eyes would appreciate an option to have larger node sizes than the itty-bitty squares and circles we get now.

This says 'descibe your idea' despite my clicking bug report!
Bug:
When manipulating bezier curves I often can not grab the control points at the ends of tangent control lines. They simply don't respond - clicking and holding on them with the Anchor Point Tool does not allow me to move them, my pointed just slides off and the point remains unchanged. Repeated trying eventually results in being able to grab and move the point, but it makes Illustrator impossible to use us a quick and flowing way, like I used to.
I have experimented with the settings in Selection & Anchor Display without any improvement.
