znd, your´re right with your above statement.

pros: lightning fast
very good onscreen appearance of your artwork
reliable output (what you see is what you really get)
easy to use
cool bitmap handling and incredible transparency fx

cons: no cmyk output
text handling (kerning is fixed now [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img])
font problems (type 1)
lack of product updates
xara x final 1.0 still buggy

anyways,
xara rules

Bye
