Today I downloaded a fresh copy of Create and it still looks to me like
splines; the pen tool is a spline pen tool, and apparently Type1 fonts,
when converted to outlines, are converted to something different from
their native Bezier curves, because you get way too many anchor points.

I guess for many kinds of artwork the difference doesn't matter
all that much but for e.g. logo design it is enough reason to look
elsewhere.
