Comparing the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bézier_curve]Bézier curve[/url] tools from SP3 (3.2.1) and AT2 (2.4.4), I noticed a few differences that seem to make the SP3 version more complete, powerful and easier to use:
#1. AT2: There's no way to open the vector shape editor with a blank window.
You always have to choose a content (text, icon or shape) then choose to edit it. So, if all you need is drawing a new shape, you have to select the content then delete it, nothing impossible or really difficult to do but, in this case, something that could be avoided (yes, I know that Option-Space clears the whole space work ;^)).
#2. AT2: Maybe I'm completely wrong but it seems impossible to draw an open shape with the Bézier curve tool.
Here's an example of a such shape made with SP3:
#3. SP3: As you draw custom shapes directly in the document window, it is possible to use guides and grid, a great help to draw exactly what you need. Unfortunately this is impossible with AT.
#4. AT2: Adding a new point from a contextual menu should be a nice addition (it's possible to do that with SP3). "Option +" works as a short key to activate the Add point tool but it is not exactly the same process that Ctrl- clicking where you want to add a point then choose "Add a point" from a contextual menu (or use Option-Shift click).
#5. SP3: Using Command key to move separately the direction lines, Shift key to rotate a direction line in 45 degrees increments, double-click to change the type of an anchor point are so useful and so easy to use that they would be added to AT2.
In a more general way, I think that similar tools from different BeLight applications (AT, SP…) should work the same way with (when possible) the same features.
Note that there's a translation error in French localization of AT:
The tooltip related to the Delete point icon (of the vector shapes editor) is "Déplacer le point" (Déplacer = move) and should be "Supprimer le point".
