CorelDRAW 19 – dont buy it

CorelDRAW has become a ridiculously infected scam of advertising and deliberate bugging of people who have sadly purchased this version.  I have read plenty of complaints about the corruption of a really good product which I have used since its inception with version 3.  What a sorry comment on the new management. The popups are not only annoying, but I cant stop them, and they cause gliches in the the program which require shutdown of the program to resolve.  A very sad commentary.  I guess i have to find an open source or other program as a substitute.  Shame on you CorelDRAW.
