This is Martin Owens. He is a leading developer of Inkscape, a free open-source vector graphics editor. Adobe has lost millions of dollars because of his work. Thank you Martin 🫡 : pics

Inkscape is awesome
Much like Gimp, Inkscape is not at all a competitor to the adobe suite if you are a professional
A hobbyist using hobbyist software is not loss of money for The most feature rich professional oriented software out there

This guy is a hero. Inkscape is so much better than Adobe. Also, I couldn't have done some recent PDF to AutoCad conversions without that software. Autocad chokes on pulling vectors out of PDFs for some reason. It does it, but it is a mess. The bad thing is I know it could do better because if you just pull in the same PDF that it struggled with as an external source, it renders it fine, including all the vector information. I could be doing something wrong, but it shouldn't be that hard.

Inkscape is still notably worse to use than Affinity Designer, despite having been started more than ten years earlier. Why?

are you helping out or just spreading the hate?

You have the right to have an opinion. Also, your opinion have zero value for others. No argumentation, no reasons, just : inskape is worse than X.

Speak for yourself as it was a valid question from rhabarba.

Well thank you, that's generous.

Thank you for your valuable opinion about my opinion.

Worse to use. The UI is a mess, the application is slow and last time I checked, it crashed more often than not (at least on Windows).

on Windows

R.I.P. your credibility re: being the arbiter of good, usable software 🤪

I'm very pleased for you that you always have the choice of which operating system you want to work with in your everyday work and private life. This freedom is a luxury that not everyone has.

Why you complaining about free stuff tho?

[–] tux0r@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago (3 children)

"It's free" does not mean "it can't be improved".
