"Yes — and more. This is a home-run-and-the-crowd-goes-wild release that every CorelDraw user will want."
"If you already push the software to its limits, it's the day-to-day changes that will impact you the most. And, boy, is X5 chock to the gills with them."
"While the new features will hook you in, you'll be discovering and enjoying the hundreds of small improvements for months to come. At the very least, download the free trial — you get to try the full feature set for 30 days, and we think you'll wish, like us, that every CorelDraw release was this good."
