Who would think that having to operate a circular knob by moving the

Properly done radial knobs do not force you to move the pointer in a
little circle, but allow you to increase the distance. This way, you
get adjustable precision. In my own experience, this can work very
well for parameters that have a huge range (i.e. _many_ steps) and
control something sensitive to the smallest changes.
One thing that comes really handy here is using a modifier, like shift
or ctrl that does micro-adjustments vs. regular adjustments. Ideally,
when this is coupled with an editable number box, you get the best of
both worlds.
One issue is the placement of the knob relative to the edges of the
screen and what you do when the pointer (ignoring touch) reaches them.
