Definitely! It's always good to remember the shortcut for that tool... hold option key (alt on windows I think) when the pen tool is activeagree,, I always use the pen tool when sketching and don forget the Anchor Point convert tool for refinement when needed,

Yeah, importing the drawing or scanning the original then using the pen tool is vital to do really fast work. I still think there is nothing close to as fast as a pencil and paper but after that...pen tool is the tool of choice.

Ok. Illustrator's fans using pen tool is essential, why not ask all together to Adobe to make or let us edit menus to have access menu with right mouse button, with the direct tools to add or remove vertices more easily as with Photoshop and not to mention the super tool to simplify paths

The "pen tool" is essential. But I love the "smooth tool" (access by clicking the "pencil [not pen] tool"). It is what it sounds like. A tool for making things smoother. But beware, don't make it too smooth. Almost every logo needs some kind of edge :-)
