- jansan 6y agoLot of vector editing programs just cheat when things get difficult. I have seen drop shadows as bitmaps, path intersections that become polylines with zillion line segments, elements that are just missing, you name it. Doing vector graphics is hard beyond basic shapes, and I have the feeling that some developers and companies underestimate what they are trying to do at the beginning and then have to rely on workarounds for some features.
