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

I've designed banners and flags in Inkscape, convention signage, even electoral campaign materials like business cards, handcards, campaign signs. A great tool

Nice. Anyone who takes money from Adobe is a hero to me.

inkscape is great, I use it all the time

I made nearly all the 2D assets in my game with Inkscape. It wouldn't have been possible without it.

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.

Seriously fuck adobe. We use them at work and they have the shittiest management portal in the universe and also make it so hard to cancel subscriptions.
