I write this message for all corel users. In my company i use corel and i use creative suite cs5 for one year and creative CC for one month. Adobe have a grate products but i think there are a lot of programs and one persone can't use all. I find my corel x4 more quickley than illustrator/indesign cc 64 bit. I spend one day for paginate eight pages with illustrator and three hours with Corel. I studies many hours indesign and illustrator but i think almost people have requirement that adobe promotes, it's only a business move. I hope Corel continue to developer this software with this policy and best each distribution. A good graphic using adobe but does not have the ideas in head will never make big plans!!

I use CDR from 2008 and in my opinion as i saw, Corel not invest in cdr developing much. From version x4 i saw some changes ,but not big changes. Only the character formating and the color management are changed, in rest just modified. Export and pdf problems appears in x6 like in x4, no free video tutorials to understand color management in x5, x6 ,CorelDraw masters not handle professional the serious problems like eps exporting or pdf publishing, or the bugs ,they reject all or handle indifferent ,they do not like the criticism :) etc... In graphic design industry (professional print companys) as i saw Adobe products are more preferably.

Well, I work for the printing industry since 1980,and I work on PrePress since 1998, on Europe and America, so I believe I had a bit of experience, On my job, I must produce several PDF files every day, and I must output files for a company with high quality level (ISO standards) and we produce a lot of files each day. I'm quite sure that I have enough professional experience on the use of PDF files, and of course other programs, including Acrobat with Enfocus Pitstop, Quite Imposing, Preps, QuarkXPress, and of course Adobe software such as Indesign, Photoshop or Illustrator.
Therefore, I consider totally unfair and unfounded your comment. Of course we accept criticism, but we can not accept to doubt our experience or our honesty to answer. For example, I don't use EPS, because I don't need it. I used EPS for send files to a Roland Plotter some years ago, Fotunately, each Master has a different work and experience area, not all do the same jobs.
Of course, we like criticism, new ideas, suggestions, etc, I've been asked for ideas for each release (http://community.coreldraw.com/forums/p/21747/96521.aspx#96521 - http://community.coreldraw.com/forums/t/32797.aspx), and several suggestions were included; http://community.coreldraw.com/forums/t/21747.aspx?PageIndex=66
And also, we know still there're bugs and errors. We fought them every day, and try to find solutions to help users. All we has a lot of request for improvements or changes, these changes are not in our self personal gain, but to improve the program and make it useful to all. If the program has an error, all we has the same problem. ie in the initial release of X6 you can't copy/paste tet from Desktop layer to other layer, All we had the same problem, and was solved on X6.1 Reject? Indifferent? We spend several hours a week to find errors, inform, report and try to find solutions to problems and errors.
Yes, perhaps between X3 and X4 there was only few changes (the entire interface, for example) and all we agree that we need more tools, more effects and more changes
