I don’t understand why people have to make such negative comments about such a product, I have used CorelDraw since version 3 and I do not agree when people say it is inferior or it is better than any product. These softwares are just tools. The real genius is the end user. Besides it doesn’t matter what tools you use as long as you get the job done and get paid for it.

Any addition to an already useful software is a welcome note. And for those snobs out there if you have nothing good and constructive to say. Keep it to yourself.

I used CorelDraw professionally for seven years, although I have used Illustrator exclusively for the past four (because of my new employer). There are tons of things CorelDraw does natively that you just can’t do in Illustrator . Perhaps a small portion of these tasks could be done with plugins or scripting support in Illustrator, but the fact remains that for certain industries and graphic jobs CorelDraw is the best answer.

Heres the kicker, both software packages are just tools. Put MSpaint in front of a graphic genius and he/she could create a masterpiece. If you limit yourself to adobe products on a mac, your doing just that…limiting yourself.

I could go on, but I don’t want to turn this into a CorelvsIllustrator conversation. Now I do love Illustrator and really enjoy using it, but saying that CorelDraw is somehow inferior is just wrong.

Is it 1992? I used Corel in my High School comp graphics course. Corel is dead. The Adobe suite is the only serious piece of software out there.

I’ve used CorelDraw since version 1 and it’s a great design tool. User friendly, simple to learn, completely customizable and best of all it’s cheap! I’ve designed hundreds of logos and signs with it.

The people I’ve met who dis Corel have always been Adobe snobs that have never used Corel. They think real designers work only on a Mac and only use Adobe products.

Maybe you CAN whip up business cards real quick in Corel. Maybe you CAN daisy chain your SCSI devices.

@5:

It sounds like it’s gotten better, but it used to be a genuinely awful piece of software. That’s why the haters. But it’s dumb to hate something you haven’t tried in a long time — I last used it at least five years ago. Competition is always a good thing.

Why the haters on CorelDRAW? It’s an excellent software with massive use in the sign and screen printing industry. It’s inexpensive and gets the job done. I can whip up business cards, logos and flyers faster in CorelDRAW than I can in InDesign… and it’s more friendly for press printing than Illustrator.

X4 is looking to be worth the upgrade. Most of the bugs seem to be worked out in beta 5… I like the idea of a seamless integration of ConceptShare… but I will wait to see how seamless it is on the client.
