| Other Comments and Impressions | Illustrator has many powerful features that aid in vector graphics creation and editing. This version has mostly upgraded capabilities for exporting to web formats | Very similar main features and price as illustrator. Appears to have superior Web integration but less intuitive access to tools and features in interface. | Easy to use yet powerful computer aided design tool that includes a large library of symbols and predrawn shapes. |
