Lots of cool applications! Alternate layouts for cities, switchable grid between hex, square, or neither, alternate roads, alternate textures, untextured versions, removable city labels, addable and removable eye-candy, map overlays... I'm excited.

If for no other reason, it will be beneficial for distributing multi-leveled buildings.
I've been using Drawplus for years and I love it. It's much like Xara / Illustrator. I've just seen some of the videos of what Illustrator CS5 can do and it's pretty mouthwatering though - especially the perspective tool and the 'beautiful strokes' tool.
