Illustrator has a lot of this too despite many different UI decisions. I tend to describe it as “designed for aliens and people who think like aliens”. Which includes me, it’s been my main art tool for twenty years. I’ve seen a lot of people scream about how terrible it is that it doesn’t work like Photoshop. So really I think that “a serious vector editor” is just gonna be hard for a lot of people to wrap their heads around.

It's also interesting that the two editors seem to work for different people. I learned with Illustrator many years ago and can still use it decently well, though I rarely do so. At work I've attempted to use Inkscape, not having an Illustrator license, and completely failed every time I try. You'd think one lightly-used (so no deep muscle memory, etc.) vector graphics program would be much the same as another... nope.
