I disagree about using illustrator to create something in perspective
as being classified as "3D" instead as of "2D." Otherwise, even
pencil work in perspective can be classified as "3D." Without
perspective, and therefore fore-shortening, all people will look like
Eqyptian heirogyphs.
I think the line between 2D and 3D should be based how it is made
(with programs that also figure in depth).
Using my definations,
1. Absolutely, there are many better tasks for 2D than 3D.
2. 85%/15% for the 2D/3D question. However, the 3D portion is growing
extremely slowly.
