There are lots of features and live effects in Illustrator that have no compatible counterpart in CorelDRAW. The large format printing RIP applications we use are Adobe certified and tend to produce better results when fed Illustrator-based PDF files.
But most corporate branding work is done using Illustrator. I receive CDR files from certain types of users. CorelDRAW is still very popular in the sign industry and some other niches. That's one of the reasons why I've had to use both applications for all these years. CorelDRAW can run into plenty of problems trying to read AI files.
To be fair, Adobe Illustrator can't import or export CDR files. Over the past decade it seems like the list of technical hang-ups have grown.
I've used both CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator for many years. I really wonder if the software developers at Corel (aka "Alludo") are doing any quality control tests on how their PDF, EPS and AI export filters perform when the resulting files are imported into Adobe Illustrator and other rival graphics applications. Generally speaking, artwork that is more complex in nature will have more problems when imported into Illustrator. Yeah, it's not easy exporting artwork from CorelDRAW over to Adobe Illustrator.
