Corel Draw versus Adobe Illustrator

Surely you mean Adobe CS(3) as you've stated a package. Unless something has escaped me, InDesign is a DTP programme and not image creation software. Given the price of the two, it would depend on what you need the software to do, a mate of mine who uses a vinyl cutter all day long swears by Coral Draw, but I prefer Illustrator for graphic work, indeed I have to say that as I've never used the Coral product.

Popping the proverbial cards on the table...the software I need does not need to be too elaborate.
Basically, I use a freelance designer who designs t shirts for me in Illustrator, and then sends them to me for approval before they get sent on to the factory.
Although the factory have the ability to use Illustrator, they use and prefer Corel Draw to amend the designs. And me, not wanting to buy both software packages am just looking to but the most appropriate for my needs.
Keep the comments coming please...all dead helpful

Seems to me a third soloution would be crazy with this senario. Other than getting one to match up with the other happily, I suggest that you contact both Adobe and Coral and see if they will supply a download just for that product so that you don't get lumbered with a pair of complete packages when you only require a bit from both packages.
As in buying Photoshop Elements, About £80, for a bit of kit for image manipulation, instead of buying the CS3 package (£600+). I know photoshop isn't what you are after but I'm just using it as an example.
Adobe do software downloads as do Coral under licence and may provide you with what you need and nothing more and at a price that suits you with a solution to this issue you currently have.

It depends on what you designed for. Coreldraw has so many advantages in several areas, as the same Adobe's Illustrator. Adobe's products are more excellent for managing colors as they said. Coreldraw is a standard in the sign industry, while Adobe's products have become the standard in other industries as well. The question is what Industry you are in?
I would recommend corelDraw X4 to you. Many beginners finds it easy to work with Coreldraw's UI than Adobe Illustrator.

In vector graphic works, Coreldraw is a winner, at least for me, as they've said, CD is fast, has more friendly UI, better "node" editing etc. You can do your work faster in CorelDraw than doing the _same_ work in Illustrator. Do not ask advices from Illustrator users who have never used, or has never been a CorelDraw user. The typical answer would be "Illustrator is the industry standard" and other misconceptions about CorelDraw.
Decide for yourself.
