For me it's an easy choice: I want NONE of PS CS5's features in Xara!
Also I do not want any Websi-artsy-fartsy stuff.
I do NOT want PS-Filters and actually I do not need ANY Bitmap-Editing in Xara.

What I may want are the new tools from Illustrator CS5. I want the Perspective Drawing Tool and the Variable Linewidths BAD.
I also want Gradient on a Path and other useful Vector Tools.

I am still working with 4 Pro. I did not upgrage to 5 and I certainly will not upgrade to 6.
For me, Xara has lost all credibility as a great Vector-Program. It wants too much in other areas, while totally ignoring the Vector-Part.

And in my personal opinion, the new UI might physically hurt my eyes and possibly give me a Brain Tumor.

But then again, .... that's just me ...

I think Xara has gone too far into Bitmaps and has gotten away from Vectors.

Trying to be all things to all people is what has ruined Corel and Adobe vector applications.

I second that.

I want one thing...and one thing only; an eraser tool!
Is anybody out there listening? E-R-A-S-E-R tool.
