Hello all
I was just reading a thread where some discussion over the flash pen tool was taking place and I am curious to know what everyone thinks.
I personally have pretty much given up using the flash pen tool altogether except for simple shapes and straight lines. I can’t stand using that stuping mofoing thing!
What’s your take?
EDIT: Illustrator’s PEN TOOL ROCKS!

I’m really surprised by the way the poll is going. Either you love or you hate it I guess.
Thinker, you hit the nail on the head.

And let them know. The greater number of people who complain about a certain aspect of the program, the more likely they’ll improve it in the next version.
