    I love Illy - though I'll be first in line, suggesting Adobe need competition. It's Photoshop that's gone down the tubes for me - I can't think of any worthwhile additions to the series since they cleaned up the kerning fuck up around version 5 or so.

    As much as I lathe CorelDraw though, I wish Illy had some of its features... Preflight print check, object details clearly labelled in the layers menu, closer text inputs for rotations and such - and, is it just me, or is the bitmap handling a bit better (as in features, certainly not as in speed, God, CD is slow) in CorelDraw? Whatever, it's a fucking dog of a program otherwise.

    • Yah, I'd love to lathe Corel Draw. As it is, I just loathe it.detritus
    • actually you are next in line after me.. as i strictly only use illy for everything..e-pill
    • i used to love Macromedia Freehand as it had the legendary Z axis..e-pill
    • Have you not made use of the content aware fill options? SO good for extending the background of an image, so you don't have type going over the subject's face!Projectile
