Such a wonderful program. I have used Inkscape for decades! I love it.

THe only problem I have is that when I use it heavily, I get proficient with the UX, then I dont touch it for an extended period and have to re-learn a bunch of stuff each time.

Anyone switch to Krita? I have Krita, but I always go back to Inkscape.

I did all the documentation for the LucasFilm, San Francisco General Hospital, Brocade and others in a combination of Visio and Inkscape.

Krita is a pixel editor. I mostly replaced GIMP with krita, but Inkscape is necessary for vector files.

I use Krita for painting, but for illustrations I tend to use Inkscape. Sometimes I'll sketch in Krita and then redraw it Inkscape. I wouldn't really use Kira for vector graphics (you can, but it's not really that ergonomic).

I switched from Inkscape to Affinity Designer and never looked back.

Sold me. Frick.

I still love you Inkscape.

EDIT: $55 is not Free as in INKSCAPE.

Still looks dope AF.

If you do anything serious (aka make money with it) then $55 is a steal as long as you don't mind it being proprietary. Seems a lot of people tired of PS use it on mac

agreed.

I dont make money with it currently

No libre OS support, for those wondering. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/98932-faq-...

Clarifying the parent comment: Affinity Designer is only available for macOS, Windows, and iPadOS. It is not available on Linux.
