GIMP brush smoothing

I've always noticed that the GIMP's brush strokes, especially with large brushes, are not uniform.

I'm not at my PC or else i'd post a screenshot.

What i mean is, with a very large, hard brush, if I draw a straight line with shift-click, it looks great. But if i draw the same line by hand, the edges of the line are uneven. I'm not talking about shaky hands, it's as if, instead of dragging the brush, I'm single-clicking every 5px.

It usually doesn't bother me, because I rarely use hard brushes, and the effect is much less noticeable with soft brushes. I'll just go back and forth a few times and smooth over it.

Any way around this? i looked thhrgh the options for something like "brush smoothing" but came up empty. Google was equally unhelpful.

Guess it is the way you choose the search keyword or you are the very few people noticed this issue .
