    More pain from illustrator:

    selecting a 'stroke' in illy:

    Using either 'Select' or 'Direct Select' tool with supreme accuracy you have to hit the tiny thin centre path of the stroke to select it. Otherwise you're into selecting other crap hell.

    it would make life soooooo very easy and work so much more pleasurable and quick if I could simply select strokes by clicking on them!

    Anywhere on them. Clicking anywhere on the screen where it's rendered pixels related to that stroke, should select the path.

    With one tool - the select tool. No keyboard shortcuts or two tool combo hacks. just a frigging selection tool.

    You simply can't use illy with a wacom, when you move the pen down to click, it's impossible to do so super accurately, you always move 0.1 mm off, which lands you in illy selecting hell.
