I've been using Illustrator as my main medium[1] since 2000. Mostly I bitch about it doing terrible things when I open up older files, and the occasional update that's a crashfest for me even after I remove all plugins. (I'm currently running the last release because CC 2015.3 is one of those.)
I don't think anything is going to take the place of vector tools, especially as screen DPI continues to increase. I keep flirting with Affinity Designer[2], which does some very interesting things with integrating raster effects to create a very scalable but very painterly look. But I've got a decade and a half of sunk cost into Illustrator that keeps pulling me back.
