I am writing to provide feedback regarding the critical usability issues with the Pen Tool and Anchor Point editing in Illustrator. Compared to competitors like CorelDRAW, Illustrator's workflow feels outdated and counter-intuitive.
Here are the specific issues that need immediate attention:
Imprecise Selection: Selecting specific Anchor Points often requires multiple clicks or extreme precision.
Inefficient Node Deletion:
In CorelDRAW: Double-clicking a node deletes it while automatically smoothing the adjacent Bezier curves.
In Illustrator: Deleting an anchor point usually reverts the path to straight lines, requiring manual handle adjustments.
Please consider implementing a more intuitive "Smart Remove" behavior for Anchor Points that preserves path curvature. Thank you.
