Comment 14 for bug 167449

> Your impression is not correct. Paths with linear segments
are the simplest, but not the most common situation. Most
real paths have curves.

This is not what I meant. I meant, the mix of curves and
straight lines is an uncommon situation.

> Your proposal will make simple things just a bit easier
(and only for novices)

OK, if this is the policy of the project to favour
"professionals", and not beginners or switchers.

> but complex things much more difficult

I was talking about frequency.

IMHO, making a complex but uncommon action easier is OK as
long as it does not make more difficult a frequent (easy or
complex) action.

I often draw pictures in my job (technical writer), and I
don't think I remember the need to mix straight line and
curves -- it does not mean I never made this, it just means
that may have done it once or twice and modifying broken
lines or curves to have a mix was not painfull at all
otherwise I would have remembered.

Anyway, I'm happy with the current interface.
