Hello, i read your article, interesting
well, i am using corel draw since 3 years, in this period i have been used illustrator, My experience is that it is not friendly used, u have pick any tool on the tool bar there are nothing shortcut keys for quick selection,
Now you can use corel draw 2022, full of advanced commands, like you can make any logos very very easily and friendly, brochures, tracing images logos and etc, even you can edit images as well
By the way everyone has own experience
This is my experience where i share you
Corel draw is my best friend
Thanks Alot, many greetings from Pakistan
