I think you spoiled us over the years after whatishisname left and no longer represented on the list. Not too many applications you get to talk to the programmer directly…
…so, any word on fixes for OS X Lion (admitting up front that it sucks all the application vendors get blamed when Apple changes things and it breaks previously working apps). How about gesture support? (needle, needle, needle)

I have it as part of the suite (due to an educational pricing bundle it was cheaper to buy Illustrator that way than own its own so I have a couple of Adobe applications I wouldn't otherwise own), but I'm not sure I ever used it. I must say, I was surprised to discover that PgS's structured drawing tools are more accurate than Illustrator's (talking about precision of placing nodes and control handles). OTOH, Illustrator does a knock up job of tracing…

The lack of cut& paste is annoying, but for me its easy enough to work around -- I just end up with a few more files on the hard drive than I would otherwise (screenshots for user documentation, most recently).

Mostly it helps avoid invoking the dock if you have left it on the bottom of the screen so changing pages works better (though I really wish you could two-finger swipe between them, that'd be even better).
