yes, the 1.3 will be out on Monday next week (yes, a bit of a delay).

There will be some news on this in 3 weeks, cannot reveal more :)

And what is the criticism?

There is no 3D extrusion effect in VectorStyler. Blending might be a workaround.

We will have a comparison table once the new version is released. But to give some ideas, VectorStyler has real vector brushes, and vector pattern fills. In terms of features, VectorStyler is closer to Illustrator, with some interesting additions.

Thanks! there is still a lot of work to be done :)
