      There really isn't any competition for Illustrator, at least on the Mac
      OS.




Granted, and that's sad. But in the larger scope of overall software development, the Mac user base is small. Adobe can't be blamed for that; if anything, Adobe should be applauded for its continued equal treatment of MacOS.

Not to say that's a matter of corporate benevolence; MacOS affects a much larger percentage within the graphics creation community than in the computing community at large.

All the more reason for MacOS users in particular to stop being satisfied with the snail's pace improvement of Illustrator's interface, organization, performance, features. All the more reason for MacOS users to pressure Adobe for something better than merely including half-baked allusions to FH's advantages into the aging AI platform. (The FH community is full of MacOS users.)

It still all comes to market (user) demand. Even if a Windows-only developer is first to give 2D vector drawing the serious, modern, full-powered rebirth it needs, demand for it on MacOS will likely occur.
