Agreed wholeheartedly, and this is as someone who's literally spent thousands of hours using Illustrator. I played with it for a few minutes and found the interaction to be very natural, and I only found a couple of bugs. I would suggest that if you avoid a lot of the print-specific aspects of Illustrator like color separations, supporting spot colors, screening options and a lot of their more gimmicky features, this could actually end up replacing it for a lot of people. * one bug is here: http://mondrian.io/?p=5xf0YH http://mondrian.io/?p=5xf0YH Somehow I created a piece of geometry that's a line segment that can't be filled or stroked. Hover around near the end of that arrow and you'll find it. It was created using the line tool. edit: never mind, it turns out I just didn't completely grasp the selection model. If I click on the line segment, the endpoints get selected and I can move it, but the fill/stroke panels don't appear. However, if I drag-select it so I get the line's bounding box, they do. The selection model is a bit quirky, although I suppose you're probably trying to simplify Illustrator's weird assortment of selection modes. Good luck with that. :)

The selection model used to work the way you expected - clicking on a line segment would select the whole shape. I changed it to select only the two points that made up that line segment because I thought it made more sense, and there's usually plenty of hit-area on the inside of the shape for selecting the whole thing. In this case, I see how it was confusing. I suppose I could revert back to the old selection model, or add an edge case where clicking on a line segment selects the whole shape if it consists of only two points. The current system would make more sense if there were more things you could do with selected points besides just moving them around with the arrow keys. Either way, thanks for reporting this.
