'Yes please' to these suggestions! (Especially making the anchor points a
little bigger for easier selection.) And modal dialogs are a real pain.

Some kind of audio feedback would be great. Not just for errors but for
general drawing/path operations. Ever used Fontographer (font editor)? It
has a wonderful feedback system. Move the mouse over an anchor point and it
makes a quiet 'tick'. Drag one anchor point over another and it makes a
slightly different click.

Sounds silly but it's incredibly intuitive and useful. It's like Smart
Guides for the ears!  Could someone play around with the idea? Audio
feedback is a much-neglected area of UI programming.
