desastrous error imo:

the function “convert text to outlines”
when opening freehand files does not work correct, although it claims to work perfect!

that’s not only very risky, thats not tolerable.

@Steven: That’s true, but at least now it doesn’t change the original border alignment.

I’m afraid Illustrator is too big and old to be easily maintained, I don’t know, but at least the “gradients”:http://www.icon-king.com/thoughts/illustrator-cs4-gradients/ have been finally improved.

I also like the new tabbed view, and the transform palette is working properly when pixel is selected as unit.

But yeah, for what it costs it should be perfect!

Outline stroke still produces overlapping anchor points like in CS3.

I know several people who reported this bug to Adobe when CS3 came out. And it is still here in CS4.
I think Adobe doesn’t read user feedback. This is the proof. An obvious bug hasn’t been removed!

Adobe, I don’t love you anymore…
