Weird or different, it's still not as good.  Node selection is not a natural
extension of typical point selection techniques, but a completely different and
nonintuitive offshoot.  Spline curvatures are edited by nonintuitive curvature
control parameters attached to the nodes, and when nodes are used as control
points for multiple splines, many of the curvature parameters are lost to the
editor.  (Sure, you can get at them by editing the ascii model file, but what a
pain.)  There is pointer based control of these curvature parameters, but it's a
crude second order effect (e.g., you move the cursor back and forth, and the
curvature parameter is modified over SOME range, which shows up as some one or
two axis flex of the curve.

When I'm really bored, I hope to drive downtown, get a great parking spot,
then sit in my car and count how many people asked me if I'm leaving.
