Mental, I don't know which one to believe -- you or my memory, because I remember that bulia fixed it about half a year ago by changing something in the code and adding a "Smoothness" setting in "Preferences - Instruments - Pencil" ;-)

I didn't add it, I just exposed what already existed in the code, and it's not working very well. I did not touch the algorithm then, but Peter Moulder later did, and he made it much better.

Here's a comparison with screenshots:

Personally I'm in the Inkscape camp. Sodipodi's freehand is unusable for me. YMMV.
