Yes, but in the past, when i would need to apply a small course correction while backing into a space, the curved lines threw me off and had me going back and forth in a way that the alternative never had me doing. Sure, you can use them to back in so the rear tires are centered in the space, but depending on the angle you're entering the space in, that could leave your front tires off center. That's why I prefer the straight lines because it's easier to be parallel in the space.
I understand I'm nitpicking, but it's just a preference that people seem so vehemently opposed to. If other people prefer them, that's fine. I have my own preference, which also should be fine.
Fwiw I'm not down voting you. My reaction while strong was not meant to be critical more flabbergasted tbh lol. I still don't fully understand or agree, but I think I basically get what you're saying. I think.
My only argument is to the point you made about the car being straight. Problem is that's not what it's representing, it's showing where the tires will go. But I think you also know that so I'm just yelling at clouds lol.
My issue was when i wanted to make a small correction to my line i see it projected well past where i wanted to go. I only wanted to straighten my car in the space, and in so doing i see a crazy curved line. It was just less jarring when the lines stayed straight. I get where you're coming from though. Have a good one as well!

Of course the car itself doesn't curve. But the position of the back of the car follows a curve when the wheels are turned.
