Illustrator Magnetic Pen Tool

I'm working with the Illustrator 29.8.1 update. I'm not really noticing anything different with the Pen tool (which isn't a bad thing).

Illustrator's Pen tool is pretty powerful, thanks in part to keyboard shortcuts that can be used to move/edit anchor points and path segments while they are still being drawn. This setup is made even better and more powerful with the keyboard shortcuts for zooming in/out and hand-panning the view. Virtually all of those keyboard shortcuts can be accessed with the left hand while the right hand remains on the mouse (or stylus/pen).

Macromedia Freehand was the only other vector drawing application that had a pen tool with keyboard shortcut operations similar to those in Illustrator. The Pen tool in Affinity Designer has some similar keyboard shortcuts, but the zooming in/out setup is different (the "Z" key has to be toggled constantly). The setup in Illustrator is just much more graceful, IMHO. The Bezier tool in CorelDRAW is pretty clunky.
