Inkscape just released their 1.0alpha. You can argue about naming conventions all you want but here's the reality. It is just not a mature professional product in the same category as Illustrator. Similarly GIMP has a lot of oddities that Adobe would have found unacceptable in Photoshop versions released 25 years ago. You can do real work in GIMP, but the polish just isn't there.
