EazyDraw - 3.3

Somebody related to the project might want to update this being listed as "freeware" so as to avoid any complaints : )

EazyDraw 3 is an exceptionally powerful program. It has a complex interface unlike any other drawing program. Its tools will appear familiar, yet are actually more flexible than most. The power and diversity of this program for graphical development on the mac is really exceptional. It requires an adjustment in the way you approach your drawing because the interface is rather atypical. This latter issue is my biggest problem when working with the app. The developer has added exceptional features that you find months after you have been working with the app.

The app has to become a big player in the mac graphic community. To do that I encourage each user to discuss interface and usability improvements with the developer. Such a developer is clearly very talented and will need feedback to provide the app we all want.

To conclude I recommend this app to all mac users either for quick and dirty drawings, or highly involved multilayered sophisticated renditions.

My star rating at 4 is due to the fact that usability can be improved, but in terms of functionality this is a 5 star app

Does anybody have any experience using EazyDraw to open and work with Canvas files, both old Canvas 3.5 and recent Canvas X?

I've been using EazyDraw since January of 2004, and in my view it remains the best app for vector-based drawing in this price range. In early days, there were bugs and the developer always responded promptly to my reports. Though I continue to miss ClarisCAD and ClarisCAD II from years ago, EazyDraw certainly fulfills my requirements.

I bought EazyDraw and although it tries hard - it is extremely buggy and non-intuitive. It is in fact so buggy, that, like the last poster, I no longer use it. I have used very many apps to try to replace ClarisDraw (big e.g. Illustrator, and small), but nothing gets close - not even Apples new Apps. (I havent tried Canvas - license too monstrous for such an experiment, but it looks very tempting, though a tad complicated). I speciifically didnt want an intel Mac, becasue it does not support Classic and ClarisDraw, and some of the other OS9 apps I need. For any developer trying to better ClarisDraw - make an OSX app that does exactly what ClarisDraw does, as fast and as intuitively as ClarisDraw does, then add your bells and whistles - not the other way around. Also remember to let the user turn yur bells and whistles off - we want to draw not sing.
