A new direction is a happenin. Really it’s old, the idea, but the results are nice, I think. This one isn’t done yet, but almost.

This has always baffled me. Even with the below explanation I struggle to understand why they might have done so.

Effects are modifiable and therefore very flexible. Filters on the other hand are not. If you’ve ever wondered what the difference was between Filters and Effects in Illustrator when trying to achieve the same result, then you’ll realize that this is a big difference. Once Filters are applied they can’t be changed.
