Maybe it's not in a place where its easy to understand what is different, but here's what I would change - not a damn thing. Inkscape is one of a rare breed of program where almost everything is clear and discoverable. I really vote evolution more than revolution.
- SwellJoe 11y agoI agree. I used Inkscape for a while, then decided I needed "pro" tools, so bought Adobe CS, and learned Illustrator. Inkscape is just more obvious, to me. There's certainly some bias for me paused on having used Inkscape before Illustrator, but I used Corel Draw for longer than either and never was as comfortable with it as Inkscape. There were others along the way, as well, but Inkscape just stands out as the most usable for me. Certainly, Illustrator is more powerful and complex, but many aspects are just utterly opaque and require a lot of googling to figure out. I regularly choose Inkscape over Illustrator, despite having ready access to both. Unless I need to share my work with someone who only has Illustrator I just tend to get more work done faster.
- thawkins 11y agoInscapes issues are not with its UI, but in some of its concepts, ie knowing the difference between an object and a path, perhaps making that more obvious, ie making the menues context sensative depending on what is selected. Too many menu options silently do nothing wjen tne wrong kind of item is selected. For a new user it makes discoverability slower as they often cant tell from the visuals what the item is.
- AdrianRossouw 11y agoit's the only app I've ever used where I don't end up fighting to make the splines do what I want them to. It's truly a gem.
