I've been a graphic designer for years, and used Macromedia (previously Aldus) Freehand for may of those years. I used Adobe's Illustrator before and during that time, and I consistently like Freehand better. But…

THIS is something I've been waiting for for years. And Adobe did it first. An outline-based layer system where you can explore the contents of grouped and subgrouped graphical elements. IT'S ABOUT TIME! Ok, Macromedia – your turn.

BTW – this is Freehand 9's pathetic excuse for a Layers palette.
