Still the standard for 2d design
I have been using Adobe Illustrator for over 20 years as it's the gold standard it does it's job and gives you great control though the control isn't as good as it used to be. Still other than Figma, there's no really viable alternative.
Pros
It's intuitive, easy to use. The standard
Cons
It's getting worse as they fit more AI in and take out other stuff, it's like you have less control over things now. Even thought they are trying to find that balance 2022 or so was really good and then it's slowly getting worse.

Powerful tool for people who know how to use it
I don’t like to use it but I know how powerful tool it is when you know how to use it properly. Not my primary tool.
Pros
It has a lot of options for vector editing, gradient options are phenomenal, image tracing is crucial and also outlining strokes.
Cons
For me it’s not my primary software and I find it not intuitive and over complicated. I do think it’s because it has a lot of advanced options but I am used to using software intuitively especially that I know InDesign very well but sometimes even similar options work very differently and sometimes are named differently. It annoys me that it is not more integrated or even friendly with InDesign. I don’t like the lack of layout options and how much slower it is to work on. It might be that I am not an illustrator though.

I have a job because of this product
I have spent years learning the tool, but now I can't imagine my life or work without it.
Pros
Illustrator offers the most design flexibility and customizations that I have been able to find in the industry. It goes beyond that Canva or other competitors will ever be able to offer. It is more work, but it is also the landscape in which truly original content can be made!
Cons
It's UI experience is not great. The format is not intuitive and essentially needs to be explained by another human being through courses (whether in person or online).

Adobe- the greatest illustrator ever
I have had an excellent experience with Adobe Illustrator. It is powerful, precise and intuitive, helping me to create everything from logos to detailed illustrations. The seamless integration with other Adobe apps makes my design process smooth and efficient.
Pros
Users have access to all latest updates and releases the moment they are available.
Besides, Creative Cloud desktop apps can be installed and run on two computers.
Cons
Users experience a steep learning curve. Also, Raster graphics support is limited.
There is also accuracy and precision issue. Besides. Higher costs and increased time consumption ,are two major limiting factors.
