Switch to Node tool (F2) for editing a path.
Thanks and yeah I know about the node tool, but if I'm not missing something obvious it doesn't let me draw in changes to the line. It just lets me click and add points and drag in the points, which is at least for me a very very slow work-flow. Do you understand what I'm trying to do? (maybe I'm just missing something obvious in that tool?)
I'm not sure I understand, indeed. For me the Inkscape workflow is very fast and handy, whereas the Illustrator way seems rather convoluted. Maybe others who have more experience with Illustrator than I can provide more advice.
This sounds to me like you can change the stroke after you did it by just drawing again near some part of it. The affected part of the stroke will then be changed accordingly (think of a piece of string which you can adjust by just dragging your finger along it).
I like the idea. When you do sketches with a pen, you get the idea of the shape by stroking again and again with little pressure. It would be cool if you could instead adjust the path by drawing again close to it to fix the parts you don't like.
