Re: FN-FORUM freehand vs illustrator

I've used Freehand since as long as I can remember and for me its a case of
better the devil you know. I keep trying to dabble in Ilustrator but get
stuck and end up finishing in freehand as I think it is more user friendly.
But I think Illustrator has the edge from what I hear.

One really bizarre thing though. Maromedia make Freehand and Flash, right?
Yet, f you try import a FH eps into Flash 4 it says it only imports
Illustrator eps. Barking mad.
