why is the pen tool in illustrator so goddamn retarded?

First. I want a preview of how the next line segment will look like. Like in photoshop with the "rubber band" feature turned on as well as various other vector programs out there, Inkscape ect. I think even fireworks has it.

second. if the line has no stroke applied to it, everytime you make a new line the previous segments disapears while you're holding down the mouse to create the next segment, which is incredibly annoying!

holding down alt while with the pen tool should always!!! switch to the direct selection tool. and not the regular selection tool. I realize this depends on what tool was used last. there has never been a circumstance where I wanted to alternate between solid selection tool and pen tool.

Let me customize my frigging own shortcuts. This goes for all programs.

I want B to the new Blob brush tool. and E to be the new eraser tool. also, why did you release the new eraser tool in cs3 without the blob brush tool. these two goes hand in hand. C'mon Adobe. seriously.
