@Dazmondo Slightly off topic, but still relative to great vector applications - anyone ever use Mischief? --- showed so much promise, super fluent vector Pressure sensitive brushes including vector airbrushes, very basic but never got to blossom before being purchased and killed of by The Foundry in 2015 - I still have and use it today - problem is you can only save raster from it, only vector within the Mischief .art format but there were load of plans to expand the toolset and export options ---- real shame

Nice Story
CorelXara was the time where Corel bought Xara for a while.
And I guess they copied a few ideas and techniques and
used them later in Coreldraw versions.I was also very impressed the first time I used it.
I never thought vector graphics could be so fluid and easy.
And I think it is still a nice illustration tool to this day.

@Dazmondo - anyone ever use Mischief?
Know Mischief, but have only played once with the demo.
Too bad it was discontinued.A tool that goes a bit in the direction of Mischief is
the app "Concepts" for the iPad
Has an infinite canvas like Mischief, is a vector graphics app
but some brushes look like bitmap brushes. Has a Watercolor Brush (vector)
that mixes somewhat with the colors underneath.
(I don't know the technique behind, I think it's not bitmaps on a path).There is also a PC version, but it is behind in development.
Would not recommend it.
