I was always a fan of Flash's drawing tool, and i still use it a lot because i am still learning and getting better and more efficient at working with beziar curves.
However i do see the advantage to beziar curves. In my experience from exporting flash stuff to vector formats, I find I get alot of anchor points which are un needed and thus result in more complex vectors. By doing your own with the beziar curves i find you can be much more efficient with the amount of vectors used.
Perhaps for the web this wouldn't be as noticeable but in terms of typeface design it would be and maybe even print, I am not 100% sure on that.
Although i love the very easy to use smooth and straighten features of flash drawing tools, being able to select part of a line segment and tweak your lines is v. handy.
