freehand vs illustrator: its still on

I love that this fight still continues, even after freehand’s death in 2005 or so. I really believe that it speaks volumes when an application that hasn’t been updated five years can still run on modern operating systems, and still has features and workflow that illustrator can’t seem to match as an up-to-date modern graphics application. In all fairness to adobe however, they admittedly excluded illustrator from their “flagship” products list focusing instead on rich media web stuff… so ya, illustrator the forgotten child?
