What tool are you using to make your lines? The pen tool gives you smooth arcs that don't need tweaking.

Hmm... I usually just use the line tool for lines (because for most of the time now I use Illustrator only for technical illustration).

    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.
