Negative space?

Good list! 
Count me in on the beziers and punch. If OG could be a little more
vector-function aligned, it'd be the killer app for IA and a great many
other things.

BTW, does any one of you code adept users have an OG date stamp script or a
page numbering script for multiple canvasses?

Well, I think I'm using v10, and it's been fine for me, although I rarely 
use it. What I like from it that I wish OG/OG Pro had: 

* beziers 
* punch/interset/etc. 
* text on path / text convert to path 
* some of the text formatting features (which at one point were similar to 
PageMaker's) 
* some of the path plugins, like the spiral and fisheye lens, just for 
amusement's sake 

I might also pull a few features from Fireworks, too. Actually, at several 
points I've wish that Fireworks and FreeHand would just merge, because I 
like the live drawing/editing aspects of FW so much (and OG is similar in 
many respects, so I just feel more in control), but like the print-oriented 
capability of Freehand.
