It is very important feature, not only for CAD purposes, but also to make precise artistic drawings. Latest vesion of Autocad allows you to input exact coordinates in a small input box just near the cursor. See at the screenshot: http://lynn.blogs.com/lynn_allens_blog/images/xxblog2_2.jpg In my opinion this is a good path to follow, but there should be also provided easy way to toggle between inserting exact coordinates and classic mode (without any input nor prompt box).
