EazyDraw 3.1 (Mac OS X)

Paradigm Shift  

For anyone who has used any other illustration program for a significant about of time, EazyDraw takes a little bit of "unlearning" or "relearning" in order to get the hang of things. From the perspective of anyone experienced with vector drawing programs, EazyDraw isn't exactly "easy". On the contrary, If seems as Instead of offering a well-rounded array of tools, each with adjustable properties, EazyDraw offers a different tool for each significant option, which at times is somewhat confusing, feels a bit constrained and slows down workflow. The way the commands, items, etc are arranged in the menubar are a bit counter-intuitive at first, but it is possible to get used them after a few uses. On the up side, EazyDraw exhibits an exceptional amount of powerful capabilities which seem like the product of a tight-knit group of highly skilled programmers. The down side is that the program feels like the development process was lacking the input of talented experience design (usability). [alert admin]

DTP and Layout?  

This thing doesn't even have a feature for tables. The topic doesn't even appear in the documentation. Is this a joke? Am I on candid camera or something? [alert admin]
