This thing is cumbersome, requires too much guesswork, and doesn't have anywhere near enough options. And...why are the letterforms all of a sudden no longer paths? It's nice that the finished product can still be edited, but it makes things very difficult for warping text into complex shapes when distortion is not a desired effect. Sigh. Maybe next time Adobe.
