Yes, it has. I was reinspired to draw again when I found a program that automatically smoothed tablet momentum to different degrees. (I was always self conscious about drawing because of my jittery linework.)
But she is still a cutie and always will be. :3

What drawing software do you use? I use Clip Studio Paint, and even though my hand is very unsteady I can use control points to manually straighten out my lines and eliminate any jitteryness. It's a bit time consuming, but it works. Auto smoothing is nice too, but together they give an amazing amount of control.

I just use Adobe Photoshop. How is Clip Stupid Paint? I was considering using a curve-based/pen tool based way of lineart before trying out the auto-smoother. I am also used to vector-based curves since they work pretty much the same in 3D modeling programs.
And the program I used for "lazy mouse" is "Lazy Nezumi" which apparently works on pretty much any art program, or so they say.

I just started drawing a few months ago so I don't have the experience to really make informed judgment calls, but Clip Studio Paint is by far the best drawing software I've used yet. I started on paint.net, then used SAI for a while, but Clip Studio is far more robust than either of them. It seems like it can basically do anything. It has a built in 3D poser, perspective rulers, and the aforementioned vector tools including control points.

Normally it's pretty expensive, but I got it on sale for like $15 and it was a great purchase. I'd say keep an eye out for deals on it if you're looking for powerful art software. Every time I open it I discover like twenty new features, and every time I have a problem it turns out there's already a tool buried in a menu somewhere to fix it.

Oh, the 3D poser sounds like an especially nice feature! I will have to look into it, thanks. The lines certainly look very crisp and clean in your work. (I like the cage picture. :3)

Aw, thank you! It always makes me feel good when someone whose art I follow says they like something I've drawn. My art is still very rough around the edges since everything in my gallery is everything I've ever drawn, but I feel like I'm making progress.

The 3D poser is great. I've found that the default proportions on it are slightly weird, but they're adjustable so I saved a few models the way I like them and they save a ton of time. That also means I never bothered to learn proportions on my own which probably isn't great for my art in the long run, but it's not like the poser is going anywhere so I can just keep leaning on that until hopefully I pick it up.
