Well, at least they’re not being purchased by Adobe.
"At least it's not Adobe" is such a cope.
For sure. When they had our livelihood by the balls because ‘industry staaaandaaaard’ then they stick it in a perpetually cranking vice called subscription model, we reach for any cope available. Its been decent cope and now we need a new cope.
inkscape needs more contributions, both financially and in the way of code.
The new advanced snapping system is as good or better than Affinity, path effects are an experimental feature that allows you to do batch shaping of a paths nodes using logical and mathematical parameters, CMYK support has landed and Inkscape is charting it's own SVG standard specifically for vector graphics, design and drawing.
The font handling was my biggest gripe, but even that's gotten better.
Besides the lack of art boards and certain other "nice to have's", I think I'll be switching to Inkscape as a replacement.
