Hi,
spiro mode in freehand pen tool does not make sense. I'd suggest to remove the button.
Even for bezier tool the spiro mode is not that useful, as you don't see the spiro while drawing (which would be nice indeed). But since you still draw beziers and spiro just gets applied _after_ path finishing, you could likewise apply it via the path effects dialog.
I agree that Spiro mode definitely needs work, but it isn't that bad to be removed really :)
And I shamelessly take this thread as an opportunity to raise a question of handling types of adjacent nodes when removing one. Currently when you delete a node, adjacent nodes become cusp, which in case of Spiro leads to a clumsey look of a curve. Should it possibly be disabled at least for Spiro?
