THE ULTIMATE IRONY!

Question

Hello everybody...
check out the copy below...
this is how ADOBE describe FREEHAND on THIS website...pretty amazing eh!
This poses the question to me, why not practice what you preach adobe! why don't you take a leaf out of your own (or macromedia's) book?... unbelievable!
I just find it hilarious how adobe can describe freehand on this website so perfectly and so true to life, i.e brilliant!, but then try to kill it a slow painful death at the same time...
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE USE FREEHAND ADOBE!...AND NEED IT TO HAVE A FUTURE!

EASY
Quickly go from concept to design and publishing in print, Internet, and Flash projects. FreeHand MX provides a streamlined, easy-to-learn graphics environment for designing illustrations, organizing information, laying out storyboards, and developing click-through presentations.
Enhance productivity with a highly customizable workspace. The Object panel eliminates the need to move between multiple panels to inspect and change object, text, and style properties. Tools panel organization and a streamlined workflow make FreeHand MX easy to learn and use.
Quickly organize and map navigation, content, components, and data flows. Drag and drop to build persistent relationships between objects — while providing complete editability of stroke styles — with the Connector Lines tool. Achieve maximum editability and reduce production and revision times using master pages and backgrounds, Symbol libraries of data types and navigation components, and the graphics-based Find & Replace panel.
Produce immersive presentations and click-throughs for proof-of-concept proposals and client approvals. Drag and drop interactivity between objects and pages with the Action tool. Assign ActionScript™ commands in the easy-to-use Navigation panel. Quickly publish to SWF format for easy distribution.
POWERFUL
Rapidly create and edit visually rich designs and illustrations that provide maximum impact. FreeHand MX includes a powerful and flexible set of vector-based tools for designing print layouts, animations in Flash, or application interfaces.
Layer complex visual appearances on individual vector objects. With multiple attributes you can apply and organize an unlimited number of strokes, fills, and effects on a single object, from a single panel — eliminating the need to keep up with and edit multiple copies of an object for the same visual appearance.
Easily build rich graphical components for ads, interface objects, and attention-grabbing headlines. Apply path manipulation effects such as bend and transform while maintaining editability of the original shape with live vector effects. Provide high-resolution, realistic appearances — such as drop shadow and bevel — with live raster effects. Create 3D appearances with the Extrude tool.
Quickly reshape graphic primitives while maintaining editability. Round rectangle corners, turn ovals into arcs, and change the number of points on stars — all within the workspace.
