The thing I love the most with CorelDRAW is, that - with a bit of Creativity - it can be used for very uncommon tasks, even if it is not directly Design-related. Ever caught yourself in a creative brainstorming, but no protocolling tool at hand? That will never happen again: with the Smart Drawing Tool and the Straight Line Connector Tool you can create impressive and organized Mindmaps. If you pick the Text Tool and hover the cursor over the outline of a Shape, you can quickly apply an annotation-like fill text... These mindmaps are even faster created than with many applications which are designed for that purpose!
