should I be using expession design?

[jonnyfect]

I use expression design to do a lot of vector art for my clients; I have found that it is much easier to use than the adobe software(just cause i am used to it). That is really only because I have never used adobe programs and am not familiar with them. I have tried to make the switch but I just get confused on what adobe program to use for graphic arts and how to use that program. I am a quick learner, but once I am used to doing something one way it is hard to make the switch. I have found several drawbacks to expression design, the biggest is the inability to make halftoned images. So, what program should i use? and is you got any suggestions for tutorials videos or websites.
thanks
Jonny

Corel or Illustrator/Photoshop are industry standards.
Youtube & the interweb thingy are littered with tutorials.
