ahh yet my favorite program illustrator. I think this v10 is by far the buggiest yet. I think they should up the support for SVG and flash output, I also agree the there should more options in the PDF output like it is in indesign. I'd like the font menu to show the font I'm using in its own font face, IE if it list arial it shows arial in arial. I also think they should do some cool distortion stuff for vectors. Kinda like a layer effects palette in photoshop, but when you bevel and emboss it would be in vector as well, and you could choose the level of detail and width of stroke too. I don't know if there is a way to do this already, but to do a fade with a blend from a solid color to completely transparent one, or maybe another image method like overly or somethen. Maybe some sort of alpha palette wehre you can make a show layer of shapes and that can be a mask, instead of just saying clipping mask, and then having to release to really edit it. Other than also fix the speed issues, and its so buggy especually when you're trying to change the color of test. Type a line of text, in black, now draw a square in a color and then pick the text and use the eyedropper on the square. I don't know if it happens to you guys but to me nothing happens. I have to go in and manually select the line of text with the text tool and then change the color. It used to be so simple.
