      ...it's way past time for 2D vector drawing to be taken to truly robust,
      full-featured, modern, and professional standards. Today, Adobe is in
      the best position to do that.




Adobe may be in terms of it's market position and brand. But it would require a complete tear down of it's current management and marketing practices. Adobe has repeatedly demonstrated that they are more than happy to keep "upgrading" Illustrator without improving it.

They aren't upgrading Illustrator, they're upgrading the box. Adding a new feature so you can promote the feature and sell more licenses and upgrades is not the same as improving the product. They may or may not know that, but clearly they don't give a shit.

Until Adobe is run by people who know the difference and � more importantly � do give a shit, nothing will change.

A second barricade is that users and Adobe are far too wedded to Illustrator. If James's dream vector program is to materialize, about the only thing I feel I can safely predict is that it won't be Illustrator. Everyone's sticking together for the sake of the children, without seeing that they are postponing the inevitable and making things worse.

For Adobe to develop that program they must decide to stop spending quarters upgrading Illusrator for tens of dollars and start spending fives to replace it for twelves of dollars.

I think there are lots of companies that are more likely to do that than Adobe.
