Yes, CorelDraw V3 wasn't all that bad. Pretty basic, but useable, and
cheaper than Illustrator.
And one or two versions later it acquired multi-page support, which is
the one and only reason I still use it (Illustrator still doesn't have
that).
However, it also acquired many bugs, and a randomly-changing UI.
Every new release creates a large collection of new bugs, and a new
randomly different UI.
Corel long ago lost any claim to software competence that it might
ever have had. I can't think of any other software company whose
quality is anywhere near as low as that outfit.
