No doubt it could be better( as everything always can) but as primarily a developer who occasionally has to make/modify simple vector images and icons I love inkscape. I am sure if your a professional graphics artist using the software everyday the little stuff adds up and is really annoying but if your graphic design professional it's easy to justify shelling out cash for Adobe or similarly polished software. Inkscape in my view is for those of us who need to work with vector graphics regularly but not everyday.
