Mike! Never tried to come up with bad stuff about Corel before,
but, gee, is that stuff easy to find. I had to limit myself!
I sure wonder where you've been looking. I guess one simple search
can put to rest your myth of Corel, the "quality developer".
Remind me, who was releasing products that weren't ready for
prime time?
Enjoy,

Do users accept erronous software? Corel Corp. sued by clients,
claiming huge amounts of bugs in CorelDraw 4 and 5
"The suit...alleges that CorelDraw 4, 5 and 6 were not properly
tested before release, were released in defective condition,
were unmerchantable and unable to pass as suitable in the trade,
and failed to load or execute properly."

Corel 6 Buglist
euroexpo.co.uk
Number of bugs that prevent features from working: 30
Corel 6: "...we can't do a fair test drive of CorelDRAW! 6
without mentioning bugs. Corel has a history of supplying
free glitches to its users..."
"...if you surf Chris Dickman's CorelNET on the WWW, you'll
come face to face with other users - some of whom were quite
vocal in their unhappiness with, to paraphrase one, paying
hundreds of dollars to be a beta tester"

Corel 7:
euroexpo.co.uk
"CorelDRAW 7 is now at build 7.375 so if you are running an
earlier version, you should contact your local Corel Customer
Services representative to request the new build."
"you should also check the notes for graphics file origination
and colour notes on the Corel 5 & 6 pages - they still largely
apply with Corel 7, unfortunately. Also have a look at the current
Corel 6 (!!! ed) Bug List here."
Corel WordPerfect Suite 7: More bugs, too slow, too

Macworld review of CorelDraw 6 Suite for Mac:
"Draw ripe with bugs and nonstandard features",
"The CorelDraw 6 Suite... obviously stresses value. But if you
bring any experience to the table, you won't bask in the glow of a
good purchase for very long.", "Biggest, but not best",
"The paint module, Corel Artisan, may well be the worst paint
program currently available for the Mac"
