[Coda]

It's more important than you think. When you're using a computer, obviously it's meaningless, but when handwritten it's more than just "good handwriting". Understanding the stroke order of a kanji is often the ONLY way to read calligraphy. Since the individual strokes aren't clearly defined when writing like that, the stroke order determines the shape and flow of the lines. You get it wrong, it's completely unreadable.
