What is the difference in the purpose of the graphic editors CorelDraw and Illiustrator?

Question

Adobe Illustrator

Everything is clear with Photoshop - an indispensable tool for working with raster graphics (create some kind of picture for the Internet, a banner on VK or Instagram.) (You can’t fully work with vector graphics in Photoshop?)
But what is the best program to choose for working with vector graphics - Corel or illustrator. To create large-scale billboards, etc. Also in Korel, as in illustrator, you can draw some plain logos or drawings, as in illustrator, right?
I think to stay on the core for now.

Answer 1

Depends on what you will do with your files later.
If you draw graphics for the Internet or save as pictures / PDF files on the device, then it doesn’t matter - the functionality is the same, the tools are the same, choose what is convenient.
Illustrator has a bonus - linking with all other Adobe products.
If your works are sent for further processing on specific devices: plotter, laser, engraver - then you need Corel. Illustrator just doesn't export files to .plt, .pjx and so on

Answer 2

Work in what is comfortable. Both programs are designed to work with vector graphics, both have similar capabilities.
Somewhere I heard, they say, Korel is preferred for printing. But I think it's a matter of habit and inertia. I myself work in Illustrator, because. it is more convenient for me personally, I'm used to Adobe products.
