About Adobe Illustrator
Adobe Illustrator CC is an industry-standard tool in vector drawing and editing for professional design and artwork. Users can create graphic designs that go virtually anywhere including print, websites, video games, logos for brand corporations, packaging for general merchandise, as well as business cards, billboards, bus wraps and even clothes.
Illustrator CC enables graphic designers to create sketches, typography and illustrations for print, web, video, and mobile, and offers a wide set of tools, filters and effects. Illustrator works with vector graphics which are resolution independent and defined mathematically for quality control, and also with the more traditional, raster graphics.
Illustrator CC comes with thousands of royalty-free stock art and all projects can be loaded into InDesign for a complete design workflow. The solution also integrates with animation and video apps like Animate CC, Premiere Pro, and After Effects.
With the seamlessly integrated Adobe Creative Cloud, users can easily access, organize, and share creative assets with other users, as well as other Adobe desktop and mobile apps.
Adobe’s mobile apps include Illustrator Draw, Capture CC, and Comp CC that let users intuitively capture creative vision with shapes, color, and typography with their mobile devices and seamlessly continue projects on the desktop with Illustrator CC.

Adobe Illustrator also offers integration with other products such as Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, etc., to facilitate the creative workflow. It is available on both Windows and macOS operating systems.
Pros
Adobe Illustrator offers a wide range of options, including drawing tools, object manipulation such as geometric shapes, brushes, layers, special effects, and many more. This allows for the creation of complex and customized illustrations.
Cons
What I don't like is that it requires a certain level of skill and experience to create good designs. A simple first-time use is not enough.

Adobe illustrator is my favorite and I'll probably always use it as long as I can afford it. That being said, I can do most (not all) of the same things with cheaper software.
Pros
What stands out the most is the ability to use a larger canvas size and complex custom brushes without lag time and other issues when painting. Everything is always very smooth and fluid.
Adobe illustrator has more tools in general, and more powerful tools for things like selections, color adjustments, and transformations. I also liked the layer and layer property options.
I designed a product for my company and the artwork and logo on it turned out great using Adobe illustrator.
Overall quality of everything is just better, simple as that.
Cons
Adobe illustrator is significantly more expensive than other digital art software. The workspace and entire software is going to feel very different if youre coming from another product. That could be a pro or con but either way I think there is a small con with the "re-learning" process.

I greatly enjoy using Adobe illustrator and I have been using it for the past 15 years. I would also say that the program integrates seamlessly with other Adobe Products and this makes my work as a graphic designer quite easy.
Pros
I like the fact that i can now be able t use AI directly inside adobe Illustrator.It also good that I can also be able to pick fonts directly from Images. I also enjoy the fact that I can now create 3D vectors easily
Cons
I think that the only thing that i do not like about Illustrator is the lack of a multi page editor, where i can easily edit test on one page and it will update on other pages in the same documents Artboards

My experience has been not just satisfactory, but I'd say Illustrator has exceeded my expectations. I learnt graphic designing long back with Coreldraw, and later my job required me to travel a lot, and I came to realize that the industry prefers Illustrator to Coreldraw, and I was forced to learn it. The interesting thing was that it did not really take me a lot of time to get the grasp of it, so it's user friendly as well. Now I can't think of any other software when it comes to vector designing. Illustrator is my go-to software for the majority of my designing needs.
Pros
There are quite a few aspects of Illustrator that I'm fond of, but what I like the most is its integration capability with other Adobe Products, and since I use multiple Adobe products like InDesign & Photoshop, I can affirm with complete confidence that it works seamlessly with these other applications, facilitating a smooth workflow across different design and media projects.
Cons
I'd expect it to be a one time purchase product than a subscription service. Yes, it is powerful, intuitive, and can get the job done like no other software in the designing fraternity, but it's expensive. Since it is available through a subscription model, it requires a monthly or annual fee, and I'm sure a vast majority of people like me would prefer a one-time purchase option for this software.
