    "cluttered, slow, inelegant"

    November 8, 2010  |   By v.aerghir

    Pros

    nothing at all

    Cons

    Cluttered menus, slow operation, inelegant, un-Mac-like GUI ? obstructs creativity w. flawed & obtrusive work surroundings. Many good features, all quite well-hidden. A dated piece of software, it might well go the PageMaker way for similar reasons.

    Summary

    On the Mac there is unfortunately no real alternative to it anymore. There used to be one, Adobe iced it some years ago: FreeHand; they also failed to even really scavenge it.
