Advantages: None

Disadvantages: User interface, bad printing

I work for a graphics company that's pretty uncommon in that they use CorelDRAW for vector illustration work and always have.

We recently purchased CorelDRAW 9 Office Edition, feeling that the Office Edition was the one to go for because we generally tended not to use the other software that comes with CorelDRAW (Corel Paint etc.).

It was a hideous experience. Corel have completely destroyed their old user interface in this Office Edition. Virtually all object properties can only be accessed via flyouts which dock in the right hand side of your screen. When they are open, it cuts down drastically on your available drawing area. We tried changing to a higher resolution to obviate this, but to our disbelief the flyouts were still the same size!

When it came to printing, we just couldn't figure out how to view a full screen print preview, and when we actually printed something, we discovered that CorelDRAW is still pumping out the wonky Postscript code that it always did - full of jaggies and glitches, and distorted clipping paths.

We are currently trying to get this abomination exchanged for the ordinary version of CorelDRAW 9. What I can't understand is why Corel deemed it necessary to inflict such a terrible user interface on prospective users.
