CorelDRAW is a powerful drawing package but very overshadowed, why?

Given that Aakhan resurrected an old thread on CorelDraw, it’s probably a good time to note that since the thread was previously active, Corel has made an attempt at remedying one of its major shortcomings — last spring they released a Macintosh version.

I haven’t used it, however, so I can’t comment on how good it might be. Unfortunately, with the nearly $500 price tag, it would need to be ground-breakingly amazing to get people to switch from Illustrator — especially considering that another very capable suite of contenders is available from Affinity for a fraction of that price.
