with all these necessary workarounds... people must really love to stay on X... i'm one of them.

i have tried to switch back to illustrator a couple of times but i really feel adobe's interface/vector tools are too much of a hassle.

but... to resolve any compatibility issues when working on the same project with other designers... i would love to see X being released as a plug-in for illustrator so i can stay in illustrator using X's interface/vector tools.
