That depends on your definition of power...
Obviously the big boys have crossed all their "t's" and dotted all their "i's"...
Insofar as there is a truckload of stuff in there and more than a little bit for everyone...
But to use an analogy this can end up feeling like your doing your day to day driving in your Winnebago.
Does Xara's "Vehicle" need to have a portable toilet and kitchenette? (ie. no one can tell me Corel's expand in every direction strategy did not stymie revolutionary developments to the core of their app....)
(Don't get me wrong the CMYK thing has my vote...)
The way I see it is that Xara is kinda more like a sports car.....I.e no crap, fast render, responsive onscreen UI, Real time, exciting....
This is where they need to spend their money......i.e making the UI more onscreen, faster, more responsive and flexible.
ie make what is awesome about extreme more awesome.
(I can understand that they may want the web app to up to a certain standard and that merging these to apps could save money and optimize resources ETC so perhaps i may take back my last comment....but only if they don't totally drop the ball on the vector front.)
And to see 90% of a new version to be comprised to web stuff is more than a little troubling.
When the same money could have seen spectacular things happen UI wize, building on the muscle already available here.
And i do get scared that they may be "digging in" as I think when an app gets to a certain size and things start getting "tacked on" left right and center that your app is probably at the point where its evolution on a fundamental level has ceased.
As the more things they plug into the same "core" the harder it gets to change anything (let alone anything fundamental) about it with out risking undoing much of what you have done.
I fear they are happy to have a platform that is in certain key aspects more advanced than the big boys and so are concentrating allot of energy on their feeble extremities.... but I would rather them make their big muscles even bigger......Xara on steroids please.
