Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Illustrator CC

As a content developer for business pitch meetings I have to customize decks to match clients branding. So my PowerPoint backgrounds are exclusively designed in Illustrator. Illustrator also help me to manage client logos better especially I use tracing function to recreate logos or icons as necessary for my presentation. Yes I can somewhat use PowerPoint to add elements to generate the background but I hate too many moving parts in my ppt.
  • Tracing is better
  • Its image management is better than Corel Draw
  • Better connectivity with Photoshop and other Adobe Products
  • Illustrators workflow is slow. Corel has some really fast shortcuts. Yes you can remap those but the warning message is scary that the shortcut key is already assigned. So I never changed any
  • Illustrator is still slow to load and run it should make the software more modular so that we can select which tools to load
  • Every time it launches a new version newly created files do not work on the older one without warnings. During saving a file you will get like 10 different version you can save for. Do it like office before 93-2000 or after 2000. I am a human and can't remember which feature offered when and save the file accordingly.
  • Tracing
  • Image embedding
  • PNG creation and management
  • Illustrator as a more popular choice makes it easier to share works across organization
Illustrator is far ahead of Xara with features and manage images better than Corel Draw

Illustrator is obviously well suited for any agency as its offer very good result for advert or promotional campaigns. But for older PCs it can be a pain to start and use it. It might crash or hang in the middle.
