With Freehand 7 you can simply export any highlighted element as a pict with the export pict function in the extra tools panel. You have the choice of dpi and colour depth. The other advantage of Freehand 7 for web development is that it is, naturally, compatible with Macromedia Flash, which will put your vector-graphics into the web at vector graphic file sizes.

Freehand's text-handling capabilities are vastly superior to Illustrator's. Freehand supports multi-page documents with linked columns, obviating the need for a program such as Pagemaker or Quark Xpress. Illustrator won't even allow you to underline text (unless you want to draw a custom line underneath the text yourself).

I love that this fight still continues, even after freehand’s death in 2005 or so. I really believe that it speaks volumes when an application that hasn’t been updated five years can still run on modern operating systems, and still has features and workflow that illustrator can’t seem to match as an up-to-date modern graphics application. In all fairness to adobe however, they admittedly excluded illustrator from their “flagship” products list focusing instead on rich media web stuff… so ya, illustrator the forgotten child?
