If they dont pay serious consideration to the strong points of Freehand and build them into Illuatrator then they are crazy, there are many things that Freehand does either better or Illy does not at all. I have begun switching to Illy but I still find myself doing certain bits in Freehand and then exporting/importing back into Illy which is ridiculous. So many good, time saving, ease of use benefits in freehand I am sad to see it go, not sad to see the shitty postscript go but hey..

So where is the press info relating to this?
Is there a better link out there?

If you take the best tools and capabilities of Freehand MX and the best drawing tools of Illustrator CS 2 and you add more interactive tools, support to multi-page documents, VBA macros, page imposing, color separation previews, precise node editing...etc you get CORELDRAW X3 . I am happy to know Freehand is dead, I like Illustrator CS 2 above all the 3D option, but for working everyday in design works my choice is CorelDRAW ,I recommend you to try CorelDRAW X3 seriously and I am sure you won´t want to hear from Freehand again.---
wtf

It's easy to say that about an app you don't use everyday.
Some people love FH.

they should develop a mix of FH, ILL and indesign i reckon.
i use ILL but have always loved the pages feature in FH.
why not mix them all?

i hate freehand so, yeah, wee.

your petition means nothing. they know that if you need to create vector artwork you will have to switch and why would they bother making 2 programs that do the same thing. Doesn't sound like good business to me. And why waste the resource ideally they could then make one really good product maybe.
