    Those in graphics design generally use this method of working from the upper left and going positive down and to the right. Previous versions of Illustrator allowed it to go the opposite direction (the company I work for has Illustrator versions going back to CS2, and I think possible AI8). Out computers use multiple different versions, mainly because as long as we save it as an AI8 file we can get what information we need from it with some other in house built programs. It just sucks when we go from one computer to another and have to flip how we think about the Y-Axis. Would rather have that be a preference, as you say
