I've talked to many illustrators that prefer freehand to illy

multiple pages/page sizes in same document--that's why I still use it instead oif illustrator

I use both on a daily bassis and have used them both from their first version (freehand, an altsys program then, was much better than Illy-until Illy started to support work in preview mode). BTW, Aldus, who were making freehand were also bought by adobe and had to return the product to altsys—wich was bought by macromedia.
Very few features are better in freehand now (multiple pages, some of the text features), But I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole when I'm designing a logo.
Let's hope they're smart enough to incorporate the good stuff from freehand.
