Description
Hi
Versions 3 of Qgis and beyond use a new method of editing nodes that can be confusing for anyone who is used to working with Qgis for a long time. It would be interesting to be able to choose between the new method and the classic way.

My opinion: it won't happen.

I would say that we need something that merges the best of the 2.x with the new 3 method. There are major UI issues with the new node editing. Here is what I noticed:
1. No difference between node hovered over and node selected (this is a MAJOR bug)
2. Cannot select a different line or node on another segment with node tool
3. Silently starts moving and adding nodes
All in all, I find the 3 version very hard to figure out what it is doing.

Hovered node has red, selected node has blue color. Or what did you mean? A screencast would help to clarify.
2. Cannot select a different line or node on another segment with node tool
Please be more specific - what do you expect and what happens instead?
3. Silently starts moving and adding nodes
Sorry I have no idea what do you mean here... it can only start moving/adding nodes when you click with mouse :-)

Hi, most of the time, the hard part is to switch to the click-click mode instead of the clic and drag used before. Now I'm used to it, I have hard time when going back to 2.18. It's mostly a matter of habits. I've been doing data digitizing recently wiht students and didn't face anymore major issues. We can still polish it, and improve it's capabilities to interactively grab features (the worst point currently IMO) and snap to others features. Let's push screencasts so that we can help you
