Xara Xtreme Pro announced

[Availor]

• Flash animation

Do you mean like timeline control?

• Multi-page support
• Enhanced Text tool
• Pantone spot and process colors
• Levels control for XPE
• Short-cut key configuration utility
• A host of other smaller fixes and enhancements (listed in another post)

Multi-page and enhanced text sounds good, but will it support a better layout and Middle Eastern writing (right to left)? Otherwise this is a too high price.

Xara Xtreme Pro will be priced at $199 + tax and shipping.

Now this is not fair It's expensive! That's more than 250$ for me!

I thought the whole advantage of Xara was a small nifty and cheap product, 250$ (maybe even more) is more or less like Adobe packages.

Maybe it's just me whinning for nothing and maybe I will change my mind after seeing the actualy product, but the price stings my pocket! Can't we be little more reasonable here? Please?

EDIT: Forgot to mention that buying additional plug-ins cost additional money, so if you take away the speed of Xara, it's price will be as much as Adobe Illustrator's.
