  I posted a similar question a month or so ago about
  Corel-Draw vs. Micrografix Designer vs. Arts & Letters Graphics Editor.

  I received ONE response, from an real-live graphics illustrator, who
  basically said "it does about everything I would want to do.  I like it."

  There is a brand-new book out on using Corel-Draw (blessed by C-D, too).
  Name escapes me, but I picked it up at a local  B. Dalton Software outlet.
  I bought it, and read it, but I'm still not convinced it's MY choice.
  One of the (my perceived) problems, it that for speed, C-D does all of
  it manipulations via wire-frame: you pop-up another, non-editable window 
  to review the "colorized" version.

  In Micrografix, you can design in either wire or solids.  I've had a 
  chance to play around with Micrografix Draw, but I wasn't exactly blown
  over by it, either.  Maybe I'm looking for too much?

  If anyone has used Arts&Letters, I would like to hear from them.
