What do you not find user friendly about Inkscape? I only use it for trivial tasks so I'm curious to know how it falls short for more professional work.

Been a while since I've tried to use it for anything serious myself but recently I tried to just crop an SVG that had random extra empty space in its canvas and it was an adventure. I think I gave up after 20 minutes and gave it back to the designer who has an Illustrator license

Inkscape has been very unstable for me. I can never use it for more than 30 minutes without running into bugs or crashing, so I just stopped using it a few months ago

Do you use the version that come with your distro? No issue with mine. I mean, I have the occasional one but nothing that would push me to stop using it.

I use arch so it's usually up to date, and I've never had good luck with software so I probably just got unlucky a lot, also I've been using wayland since forever and apps just lave being incompatible with it

[–] Libb@jlai.lu 3 points 8 months ago

I use Mint, I have no idea if it is running Wayland or not ;)

I liked Arch a lot (it was the second distro I ever used) up until I realized I needed not constant updates and the most recent versions of my apps. So, I tried Debian and then Mint and never looked back.

Same for me use it professional and private. I think it hits 95% of what I do. Other than the trace tool I’m over illustrator.

I think it always depends on the workflow you "grew up" with. I for instance learned with Inkscape, so for my use cases Inkscape most of the time is a no-brainer.

Inkscape has features that only work with keyboard shortcuts

Can it make a circle?

It's eother from serbia or, my guess, written in the rust programming language.

Edit: yeah, Github says 85% written in Rust. It's that.

[–] Bogasse@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah it's generally a mark of "developed with Rust" which, as a Rust fanboy, usually leads to a great care on usability.

Graphite is a free, open source vector and raster graphics editor, available now in alpha. Get creative with a fully nondestructive editing workflow that combines layer-based compositing with node-based generative design

sounds promising!

I always assumed GIMP was the answer to this question. Interested to see even more options out there. Great share, thanks!
