Hi Lucas,

the resize handles are not going to go away ;) - most users find them extremely useful, because they allow for a quick modification of the drawing.

However, if the relation arrow size/object size is awkward for you, you can just zoom in. The arrows will stay the same size, but the object will be bigger and easy to grab.

Zooming can be done with + and - keys, using the small input box at the bottom right, using several other keyboard shortcuts for specific zoom levels, or - what I find most comfortable - holding down Ctrl and using the mouse wheel.

You can also choose to move your objects using the keyboard, for example using the arrow keys after you have selected the object. Hold Shift to make larger moves.
