I would love to see a better way of drawing organic, complex lines. The two spline modes are clunky and time consuming, in my opinion. It would be great to be able to freely draw a line of organic complexity, and then have features to clean up and tweak said line. For me I would be using this for art nouveau lines I use in my furniture. Anyone else?

We are working on lots of improvements around splines, about to be released in the coming month, including manually adding control points and other changes, stay tuned!
