FreeHand users seem to complain that you cannot draw in Preview
mode in Illustrator. Really, though, you always have been able
to - and better than that, you can draw simultaneously in
wire-frame AND preview modes.
In Illustrator, just open a new window, and ask for a preview. From
then on, working in the first window in wire-frame mode will
simultaneously update the full preview in the second window. AND,
you can have the first window open very large for an overall view
where you work, and only open the second, previewing, window to a
small size, so that it updates very quickly. It's great to be able
to select points very clearly on the wire-frame while the full
preview opens in the second window.
