-### Why DrawCraft +## Why VectorCraft -- **Familiar.** Illustrator's layout, tools, menus, panels and shortcuts — the Pen, Direct Selection, Pathfinder, Smart Guides, Appearance, Swatches, Layers… you already know how to use it. -- **Fast.** Multithreaded SIMD rendering off the UI thread; 20,000 shapes render in ~27 ms at full retina resolution while the interface stays at 120 fps. -- **Robust.** Exact curve booleans (no "cannot perform operation"), unlimited undo via structural sharing, property-tested file round trips. -- **Open.** A documented native format (`.drawcraft`, JSON), first-class SVG, PDF (and PDF-compatible `.ai`) import/export, PNG/JPEG/WebP and Export for Screens. -- **Agent-native.** Every menu item, tool gesture, panel and dialog is drivable over a JSON control channel and an **MCP server** — Claude and other agents can draw, edit and export like a human. -- **Everywhere.** One codebase: desktop apps and the same UI in the browser. +- **Familiar.** Illustrator's layout, tools, menus, panels and shortcuts: the Pen, Direct Selection, + Pathfinder, Smart Guides, Appearance, Swatches, Layers and more.
