As is now arcs for 90 degrees work well but ideally arc angle should depend on connecting lines, did I understand this correct?

It would probably also be good if arc resize worked similar as on lines so radius could be adjusted. To place arcs with 45 or 90 degrees instead of two lines meeting would probably make arcs very nice to work with.
