I use it to edit pictures for publication in scientific journals. It has all the essential features we used all the time in illustrator, but for less.
Is still under development and it is in the good track.
It parses pdf what is great. eps and ai will be a plus... but until now try and you will be suprised.

QuickTime 7 is required both for versions 1.2 or 1.3 otherwise Lineform will crash even before the splash screen shows up (see my earlier post). This info should be added to the requirements in the product description! Nonetheless, regards to Lineform's support crew who helped addressing this problem very quickly.

In the lineform forums, a theme that keeps repeating is a request for a feature (like mine for scriptability), and the answer being "it's already there". Kind of like TextMate -- Lineform seems simple, but the more you look, the more features there are. That's a nice feat that Adobe and others don't seem to be able to pull off. My main complaint is that the documentation doesn't dive as deep into the program's features as I'd like.
