In my estimation, CorelDRAW is not competing well with available alternatives. One way it can do so is by identifying what works for them and refining the available CorelDRAW features to perform similarly. Specifically, Corel should be leveraging the power of the Painter toolset in the DRAW application. There ought to be a way to use raster brushes while in CorelDRAW, so we can eliminate the need to have both DRAW and PAINT open or switch programs. The Painter tools are more powerful and, I think, more marketable.

once again while the rest of the graphics world is cruising down the info super highway Corel takes us down a gravel road leading nowhere. Just porting some brushes in but still leaving us with no way to participate in the greater reality out there in the rest of the world. Your competitors have fantastic brushes because their application can use all the thousands of Photoshop brushes available for free online but not us Corelians. No, instead you expect us to pay for solutions that just leave us out in the cold. This is done now and like everything else in draw it was just thrown in there and will be forgotten and never upgraded or touched again. after 30 years I just can't go on paying for this crap when affinity designer blows draw away for less than half the price. I don't expect you'll be in business much longer anyway.
I will second this.
