I attached one image to show how it looks to me a single freeform stroke.
I love 3D-coat for its texture skills, but IMO it should be improved in sculpting area.

Check the option "soft stroke".

But I think it is still need to be improved although there is the "soft stroke" option.

As I wrote in the image above, I know of the "soft stroke" existence, but in some instances I hate using soft stroke, cause it has obviously less "artistc" feeling and a more technical approach...
Good for precision, but not for rough sketches.

To be more precise, both paint brushes should be improved. "Draw with a pen" tool is something more like "layer" brush tool by ZBrush.
IMHO there would be at least something like "standard" brush by ZB.

I'm glad to know that there will be improvements in this area.

Soft Strokes have a less artistic feeling in Zbrush too.

In fact I don't want to use it.
Simply in ZBrush both Standard and Layer brushes don't have the problem described above when making a stroke.
3D coat acts like it has a low sampling when tracing strokes, as it cannot trace cursor position at every pixel
