Strokes that always taper at the beginning and end are another example of something beginners ask for (because they do not have a tablet or the motor skills to taper), but I feel equally uncomfortable about this, as inking without a tablet is a recipe for RSI. Usually beginners also really like the idea of editable vector lines because then they can ‘always fix their mistakes’, and I am wary of this as it is a perfectionism pitfall. Animation, similarly, seems to still per-frame line work as the interpolation tech for vector lines does not solve all use cases.

Scaling and the like can be done much better with vectors than with raster images, but I personally haven’t seen this used much.

We could think of erasing lines until an intersection, but also of simplifying the search for path boundaries, for fills.

Variable width lines have some computer uses as well.

Editable vector lines can help create some consistency in the line work produced by a variety of artists.

Inking requires a lot of practice, so in a studio setting, you’ll likely have a mix of artists, most of which aren’t that skilled at drawing yet.
