    I have been using illustrator since v6, and had never used freehand until a studio I freelanced at a few months ago used it for most of their layouts.

    Freehand is a bit more of an all rounder than Ill. You can have multiple pages and align object to page which ill cannot do. There are some other features that i liked, but freehand doesn't use cmd plus and minus for zoom, which is crazy as all adobe apps , quark and flash do, which is strange seeing flash is a macromedia product.

    Work in illustrator, the pathfinder is better, type is easier to set, and it won't be discontinued like freehand inevitably will.
