Someday I have to learn to use Inkscape properly. For now, it's still awesome for toying around and small projects ♥♥♥

Logos by Nick is a pretty good channel for learning inkscape, and the inkscape manual is also pretty good.

Inkscape is one of my favorite editors, along with Krita and Gimp.

I never warmed up to Gimp for some reason. Inkscape is my main driver.

Inkskape is certainly one of the best editor for vector graphics, but for other things, like paintings and photo editing you need Gimp or Krita

It feels like yesterday where v1.0 came out after years of v0.92. It keeps getting better and better!

Sadly it's still not on par with Adobe Illustrator (even CS2) in terms of usability. I think they should revamp the context aware menu system so you don't always see all of the options, which is a bit overwhelming.

The merging of common settings in one dialog which this version brings is a good step in the right direction.
