The Beauty of Bezier Curves [video]

That sounds like a case of using the wrong tool for a job. That's like saying that Computer Aided Design is inelegant because it's hard to get the shading right on your life-drawings.

I wrote programs that tool arbitrarily long path lists and connected them with Bezier curves - not because they lend themselves to creating art but because I had constraints on the smoothness, curvature and number of inflection points of the compound path.
