Compare Adobe Illustrator with other popular tools in the same category.
The ease of use and the ability to transform your thoughts into an actual product for instance a brochure or logo design. being able to design in a vector format is very helpful since it is print ready.
The learning curve takes time to get used to. I don't like the subscription fee monthly. There are other products out there that work just as well for a flat fee.
I am now able to create print ready designs with out the need of paying someone else to do ti for me.
Interoperability with other Apple products
Difficult user interface not self evident where to find things
Design
It works well for print designs, but this use case rarely comes up today for me. We've used it for designing product labels for stand-up pouches printed in Japan, and it's difficult to accurately save as a PDF that's correctly printed with CMYK color matching.
It's a bit overpriced, and obsolete for my purposes. Adobe has made everything cloud based, requiring a subscription so it's not worth the cost to substantiate the shrinking use-case.Instead I use Sketch for any web related vector graphics design such as UI design.
Designing print items, formerly vector graphics for the web but not anymore.

I hate that there are two different mouses
It helps my creatives look more orderly than when I make them in Photoshop
It's a good bread a butter product, does a lot.
It's still in the stone ages an bloated.
We use it for illustrations.
I love the pen tool. It took me forever to learn how to properly use it but once I figured out the anchors and all that Jazz it was smooth sailing from there on out. Seems like there are often updates, variations of this that havent been so successful.
Lack of creating a grid mathematically. I despise live trace.
Creating crisp brands
