Ironically, since using XaraX, my interest in Adobe Illustrator has been re-ignited (go figure?). AI9 has a series of transformation and distortion features that are nothing short of terrific. Take a simple circle, copy and shrink it, apply a random distortion to the inner circle, fill it with tomato-red and you have the makings of a pizza etc. Applying multiple strokes to a line is another winner.(Comet trails come to mind).
Knowing that the people at Xara are receptive to new ideas, these seem like no-brainers to me. Add the legendary jet-engine spped of Xara and the winner gets even better...
