Smooth/stabilizer, weight, and drawing the pressure (not with pressure) for pencil tool

[Przemyslaw Golab]

Control for simplifying/stabilizing the stroke, for example Synfig Studio and Paint tool SAI haves something like this, it's helpful in inking the drawing and drawing for animation.

Weight and pressure painting for curves in pencil tool, here are SAI tutorials for example.

I don't know how Synfig stabilizes the drawing because I haven't used it. Inkscape incorporates a stabilizing tool already in the freehand tool (press ALT and draw several strokes, the result is averaged). What's your opinion?

About pressure, this can be done with freehand+LPE or tweak tool, depending on your workflow. What it's explained on those tutorials is basically tweak tool. Could you comment how well does compare Inkscape to SAI?
