Re: PackEdge
if you have been using Artpro then trying to use Packedge will be an experience, the GUI is seriouly in need of an update, it reminds me of pc paint.
Now Esko and Artwork systems are one, i wonder which editor will remain - Artpro has still been selling where as Packedge is in the decline. Possibe that both will go and they will concentrate on the plug-ins for illustrator, Who knows?

Re: PackEdge
I really do hope that Artpro remains on Mac. If in the future Artpro and PackEdge migrate into 1 product, I pray it will run on Mac (and PC also). And this without losing any options I now have in Artpro (don't know PackEdge so can't compare).
And as far as I'm concerned: rather no plugins for illustrator but stand allone apps like Artpro/PackEdge

Re: PackEdge
We have Backstage server with Deskpack (trapX BoostX tools in CS etc.), Packedge, and Artpro seats. All seem to have their place. Any good operator will find the more tools in their bag, the better. Personally, I feel I can create almost anything from Packedge regardless of how bad the original art is. Pretty bulletproof. Having the option of Illustrator running Esko plugins launching into a Backstage workflow with Packedge workstation editing is really powerful. Overall it all depends on the workflow you plan. Some shops swear by Artpro and Nexus.
