Adobe Illustrator, Is it any good? Options

[GunsNRachel]

I'm not sure if this is worth putting on my computer. What are the good things about it? What are the bad things about it? Should I put it on my computer?

I use illustrator (as Thomas mentioned already, lol). I use it to make vectors, gradient meshes, paintings, and logos for some companies. It's great because it's vector-based and can be resized to virtually anything and still keep it's quality.

One of the pluses (which might also be a negative) is that it automatically cleans up lines that you draw with a paint brush, so if you were to draw or sketch something on it with a mouse and it turned out jaggedy, it would auto-correct it to be smooth.

I personally like it more than photoshop, but it might be because I'm more used to it and know where everything is already. Learning Illustrator is a bit of a pain, but once you get a hang of it, it's a really great and useful program.

It's still in it's preliminary stage and I don't have a lot of things uploaded, but all of the graphics are done in Illustrator.
