I hate Illustrator.
I miss Freehand still to this day. They way it handled anchor points, it's options for anchor points. The customisable layout and panels.
Drawing two points and pressing 'alt' and simply dragging an extra anchor point out from the middle of the line, and it being bezier for you. I had a whole Illustration style based around that move.
I hate Illustrator.
It feels like software from 1990s still.
Want to taper a box... Free Distort. A clumpy stupid panel pops up with no controls and you've to fiddle around with a tiny preview trying to guess the transformation then apply it. then try to rotate that cube, the stupid Free Distort doesn't rotate with it.
Why Can't Adobe simply copy at least C4D methods, it's spine like options, and add in Deformation effects like C4D's taper... something independent to the artwork that you can scale and rotate and move around, then group to your drawing to keep it in place. And customisable panels. I don't want to clip Object > Transform > Reflect... I want a frigging button to do it, in the transform panel.
Total lame awful crap software.
I simple detest that I have to use it.
Yeah there's sketch and all those others, but I don't care, I want Freehand to have been keep going, and for adobe to have dumped Illustrator.- can't disagreeGnash
- Sometimes i still use Freehand on a W7 machine, then import to Ai for prepressOBBTKN
- Free distort feature blows my mind in illy. It's still the exact same hunk of crapHayoth
- can't agree, use hot keys and learn to use it noobpockets
- Know the hot keys, it still doesn't help the fact it's running code form the 1990sfruitsalad
- Didn't CorelDraw have that same drag-new-bezier feature?i_monk
