Exactly. Does anyone know what are the difficulties to provide a pleasant experience for Inkscape on Mac? Gimp looks decent. With Inkscape I wouldn't need anything else, really. Both are amazing.

GIMP and Inkscape are very different. GIMP has nearly no vector graphics editing support, although you can open svg files with it. Inkscape on the other hand is a vector graphics editor.

  Looks like that's why Inkscape is needed in macOS! :-)

> Does anyone know what are the difficulties to provide a pleasant experience for Inkscape on Mac GIMP doesn't use the XQuartz X11 compatibility layer that Inkscape uses. Work is ongoing according to the Inkscape GitLab [1]. [1] https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues/84 https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/issues/84

  You're right. I have been able to get away with Keynote/Figma for the longest time but might be the time to get something sturdier.

    I recently discovered keynote for illustration and animation. I will still use it in certain scenarios, esp if animation is involved. It’s amazingly capable.

      Yes, it is! Some of the most creative infographics I have done have been with Keynote.

        Keynote just needs some rudimentary keyframe animation capability and it will be set! Because if not keyframe, it would be something like After Effects for graphics based animation.
