In Illustrator, when I want to butt two curves together seamlessly I make sure the abutting edges have matching nodes along their border and then select one set of overlapping nodes at a time. Two sets of handles appear; one belonging to the source node and one belonging to the target node. I just snap the target's handles to the source's handles which guarantees the curve segments align perfectly.

Handles in Xara don't snap to other handles. I see that I can type values in for each handle's position but that's far more tedious than just dragging and snapping.

Has this been an issue for anyone else? Is it worth bringing up to Xara?
