In most vector-based programs there are 2 main tools used for creating shapes and lines: the Pen Tool and the Anchor Tool.
The Pen tool draws shapes. The Anchor tool alters their points.
Moho has separated these 2 tools into 4 - 5 different tools and I'm not sure why. Selecting, Transforming and Adding points have all been moved into their own unique tools: Select Points, Transform Points, and Add Points.
Affinity Designer, as an example, has an incredibly intuitive, user-friendly Node Tool (example attached) which allows you to do all 3 of these things and more, with a single hotkey. Can someone explain the UI/UX rationale behind these distinct tools in Moho?
This is truly a worse experience solely because of these tools being separated. I'm swapping to different tools and in menus way too often. I just want to make things.

P.S. as an aside, I also wish there was complete key-binding freedom in the hotkeys. Some require specific modifiers. I'm assuming there're code related reasons for this.
UPDATE: The Mr. Curve tool by eugenebabich effectively solves all my woes of creating lines inside Moho, except that it can't select points, but a dedicated transform points tool isn't so bad. If you're running into the same problem, you can download the script here: https://mohoscripts.com/script/mr-curve-tool
