Eh, working on this wasn't that bad. I do all of my linework in Illustrator since I first learned the program and now I'm decently fast at it. I think.
But to get lines of different thickness you have to actually draw/create them as shapes and use the mesh tool to tweak them, don't you? Otherwise the lines are just single-thickness, no?
Wow, you must have a good artist hand then. The mesh tool allows you to create anchor points around and within a shape so you can tweak the shape itself and the shading/gradient within.
If you're using the line tool for straight lines in technical illiustration, do you have any curves that you have to adjust using the mesh tool? I use the line tool for straight angles and such in my backgrounds.
I think AI also has a curve tool. But in any case, you can always add new anchor points to a straight line or add curvature to it later on. The mesh tool works for shapes/shaded regions.
