I use FreeHand a lot. But I am not an artist, so I hardly ever use the drawing capabilities. Almost always it is page layout of one or more pages photos and text.

I was one of the engineers on the FreeHand team at Altsys and Macromedia, starting with writing the Illustrator export and import Xtra (EPS Xchange) for FreeHand 3.0, then programmed features and fixed bugs for every version of FH up to 11.0.2, and finishing with a year of work on version 12, which was never released.

I remember when we had a contest to name the NeXT and Sun versions, and the winner was "Virtuoso".

Here are my first ones:

FreeStyle

FreeLance

VecThor (Thor from the Viking God of thunder)

VectorCraft

Artivec

RightHand (Since a good application is almost like a friend sitting beside you (at your right side) to help. Plus that working with illustrator feels like working with your left hand)

I would like some linkage to the past. Hence the use of "Free" or "Freedom"

Here are some which come to mind:

DesignFree
DesignFlow
DesignFreedom
ArtFreedom
DesignPurity
FluentDesign
PureDesign
FluentArt
FormFluent

Conveyance

It comes up in the Thesaurus as a synonym of "vehicle." The .com domain is for sale and a brief google search didn't come up with any trademarks to that name.

Hi, my proposal is

Manolibera

(italian for FreeHand) since the main reason that still leads me to use FreeHand is that using it I feel free to express myself)

Thanks and best luck to all the community,
