one reason why PDF is a better format

i've never used fireworks, but i've used corel draw and have been using illustrator for years. people can do some crazy stuff with any of these programs, but illustrator's UI is the best by far. i really hope that adobe can fix flash's UI, because it has caused me so much pain and suffering
almost every part of it seems weak, unintuitive and poorly thought-out

And if those two sites mentioned used flash to do such drawings... that's a great job. However, I think the industry is still using Illustrator and Corel draw for such drawings. Flash is still the tool to use for internet ready animation and interface.

I agree... Buuut with the aid of Adobe, I have dreams of a quality, low priced alternative to Photoshop.
