0 Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw?

My teacher gave me task to make a vector self-cartoonization. So i decide to write this post to compare 2 major vector design software for windows. Because it will help people to decide which program should they use for their works. They're Adobe Illustrator (www.adobe.com/products/illustrator.html) and CorelDraw ( Corel.com ). This is pros and minus depend on people's opinion and some are mine.

Adobe Illustrator :
Pros :
- Better for professional editor
- Advanced features
- Adobe's leading brand
- Available for windows, mac os (cross platform)
- Industry standart
- Best effect
Minus :
- Interface isn't familiar with beginners
- Corel better used in making GIF or non complicated works
- Hardware requirements for new version

CorelDraw :
Pros :
- Friendly user interface (good for beginner)
- Good for making non-complicated works
- Compatibility with other products
- Run smoother
- Low hardware requirement
Minus :
- Effects isn't as good as adobe illustrator
- Not industry standart
- Not available for mac user

That's opinions i collected from people and my own experiences.
