It makes moving artwork between the two applications an adventure. The two applications overlap each other with most features but then there are numerous other areas where the two have unique features or capabilities not found in the rival. I use both CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator heavily. I had to uninstall and reinstall the whole Creative Suite (or Cloud) package in order for Illustrator to run again.

There was one instance where I tried to open a CDR file directly in Illustrator and something happened that completely trashed my Illustrator installation.

The capabilitiy was around for only a short amount of time because of bugs.

Some years ago Adobe Illustrator had a CorelDRAW import filter.
