The Best Drawing Program is one that is no longer supported by it’s corporate owner. The Best Drawing Program is Freehand hands down.

The reason Freehand is the Best Drawing Program is that it is intuitive to use, fairly light weight in it’s memory requirements, and it has a powerful set of tools that are easy to use, and an interface that is minimal as compared to the most complex and obtuse program named Illustrator.

Adobe does it’s customers a disservice by refusing to update Freehand to keep it modern, lean and mean, and working on the latest operating systems for Macs and Windows. So without further delay save the best drawing program from total demise.

I’ve been using both Freehand and Illustrator for years. Hands down, if I start a new illustration I use Freehand. It just feels more intuitive than Illustrator. Alas, Adobe bought Macromedia a few years back and they immediately put Freehand into a limbo of not upgrading it as OS’s updated. Funny thing Adobe still offers Freehand for sale though they have no plans of supporting it. Adobe should either update (arguably the best vector based drawing program) Freehand so it will run perfectly on modern Mac and Windows Operating Systems, or they should release Freehand to the Open Source community or offer it up for sale to a competing company. And if Adobe refuses to do so then Anti Trust lawsuits should be filed.

I use Freehand to create web based graphics as well as illustrations for print media. It is my favorite application by far.
