I think you've got a good point, Bill.

WedDesigner has simplified things, but a hybrid between it and Xara, perhaps including the Blend, Freehand, and QuickShape tools, and not all the web publishing functions would be my vote.

In a corporate environment especially this, I think, would be ideal. Novice or infrequent users would have a great, value-priced app at hand they could easily use. High-end users with XPro could do more sophisticated editing/repurposing of their files as needed.
