Looks like a great release - kudos to the team. I grew up with Illustrator and use Inkscape exclusively since a few years. Overall I am quite happy with the features, the UI and the UX.

My main pain point is drawing vector curves. I cannot seem to get the intuition on how to rapidly draw curves, and it seems I need to switch tools to remove anchors and modify curvature. In Illustrator I used one tool and a few keyboard shortcuts and could trace fast.

Maybe it's just that I never fully learned the Inkscape way. It's a major issue since this is the main thing I want to do in Inkscape. Am I missing something?

imho this is sothing inskcape is lacking a lot and lots of needed features are hidden way too much. manly that if you want to create curve and tehn straight line you need to press Shifl+L

I made my proposal for improwing this wholl workflow still waiting for interested developer to implement it https://gitlab.com/inkscape/ux/-/issues/5
