Re: FLASH: Illustrator vs. Freehand...

[Mike Greenberg]

I am a little more bias than Steve. I have been using Freehand since version

4 and I have always felt like FH has been ahead of the game in the world we

call vectors. The Xtra Tools are huge and working with MOA to create my own

custom Xtras is very simple.


The interface of FH makes alot more sense to me as well as Lens fill and a

host of other stuff.


Freehand is the ultimate Flash graphic creation tool (in my opinion anyway).

Download the free trial version and see for yourself.
