Adobe_Illustrator CS6 16.0 began life as a standard-bearer for vector-based illustration and design, but fell behind the times because it lacked the Web output of competitors, such as Macromedia Freehand.

Beginning with version 9, Illustrator has embraced the Web while continually adding new drawing tools and productivity features.
