I agree with Ralph,
I would hope that any 'new' Freehand like programme could keep it simple and do what Freehand does best. I started with 7 and was in effect forced to upgrade through to MX which didn't really give me anything more than I needed - straightforward drawing tools and a simple interface to work with.
I design enamels, medals etc so effectively cartoon drawing style and Freehand was/is so much simpler and faster to use the ai, Corel etc.
A good import range is useful, currently I have to import in to AI, then export out as an AI8 format to import back into MX - TEDIOUS!!

Whist see no controversy in private users criticising Adobe and singing the praises of the best vector drawing tool (still) on the planet, I do wonder about the wisdom of Quasado making upfront statements on their quest to build a FreeHand replacement.

Of course, it may be perfectly legal for a software business to acknowledge the brilliance of a competitor's named product - and bemoan the fact that it is facing unnecessary obsolescence - it may at the same time be prudent to promote Expressive as a program for all those who love freehand drawing - 'freehand' being a part of the English language. I think everyone would still get the message.

Thanks for the forum. I will follow the development of the new software with interest.

I'm sorry; I still do not understand (nor am I necessarily expressing a preference): will this product be a commercial product or will it be open source?
