What do YOU use your CorelDRAW for?

Not sure if this post has come up before, but here goes:

What does everyone use their CorelDRAW for -- be it version 3 to the new and improved X5 -- from professional applications to just fiddle-farting around with it?

I guess I could start.  I do laser engraving in a trophy shop in the Pacific Northwest.  My materials are coated metals, acrylics, glass, plastic, and rubber for stamps.  I do both raster burning and vector cutting.  I have been using CorelDRAW for the last 11 years and although I also have Adobe Illustrator CS and PaintShop Pro on my system, I always use my Corel for 98% of my work.

    Just about anything
    -Assets for Corel Ventura, the most comprehensive, capable, useful
    program every created.
    =Instruction manuals
    -Business proposals which include East Asian languages, which :( cannot
    be done in Ventura
    -Packaging (small and very large)
    -Print setups (not so many nowadays since ALL my print customers retired
    when I retired.) -- business cards, advertisements, flyers, decals,
    buttons....
    -Assets for PowerPoint (ugh)
    -Assets for videos
    -Concept designs for mechanical products (thank goodness X5 has usable
    dimension lines!)
    and.................... (includes occasional just "fiddling around" to
    teach myself to draw!!!)...and.....

    Now add in PhotoPaint
    --commercial preparation (restoration, correction, touch ups, etc.) of
    photographs (mostly historical) from 1880 to present, for press.
    --digital camera work (but NOT the RAW conversions for which I sue the
    camera manufacturer's software)
    --preparing assets for Ventura
    --preparing assets for Corel Draw
    --preparing assets for PowerPoint (ugh)
    --document recovery from 9th generation copies!
    --yes, some "fiddling around," teaching myself how to paint.
