And the bloodletting begins....

Macromedia has dropped FreeHand from the new release of Studio 8. This just furthers the fear among folks in the graphic's world that went Macromedia merges with Adobe that Freehand will dropped in favor of Illustrator.
'Tis a sad day indeed.

Freehand was my favorite also. How anyone could say this merger is good for the graphics community is beyond me.

Yeah, Freehand has been my prime program since like 95. I love it. Unfortunately, they've let this last release wither on the vine, and it's a little buggy. I'm saddened that I'm going to have to go back to pulling my hair out with Illustrator.
