I NEVER SAID ILLUSTRATOR IS THE BEST OF THE TWO APPLICATIONS!

Adobe is picking the application they think is the best. Surprise, surprise
it just happens to be the application they have been building for the last 20
years.

Stick with FH if you like, but it will be a bit like sticking to BetaMax. In
its day it was a better format than VHS but VHS won the war. Dont stick with a
falling stock, get off of the elevator ride to the basement and grab hold of
something that is at least continuing to rise...however slowly.
