Rating and comments for Inkscape

This is great! I have been looking for something like this for a long time. The best part of all is that it's free. It's also very easy to use--a must have download

Very good editor, has almost all the basic tools for vector drawing, however it can get SLOW compared to other OSS vector drawing editors. If you're looking for a balanced performance/tools combo it's the one.

Awesome.

Superb! The more I use it, the more I like it. Yes, you have to save you work often, because sometimes the editor crashes, but I'm so used to pressing "Ctrl-S" all the time, that I barely notice that anymore.

The variety of features and overall feeling from controls are very satisfying. I really enjoy working with this program. Some people, though, may find it inconvenient or weird that all the dialogues open in separate windows with absolutely no "Ok" button. So, once you are done changing the settings, you have to close the window using that "X" in the top-right corner of the window. Takes some getting used to...

I had to do a lot of plots and diagrams for my dissertation and defense presentation, and they all worked out nicely. You'll probably want to go over the tutorial examples given in the user guide, to help you fell "at home". That's exactly what I did once, and found it very useful.

One more thing to mention: when you draw a line and want an arrow at one end, the settings (namely fill and stroke color) of the arrow head can not be easily changed along with the corresponding settings of the line itself. There are still ways to do that, but they are more of a workaround. I hope this'll be fixed in later versions.

Oh, and I just love the way Inkscape works with raster images: it allows to open them and then use the "bitmap trace" dialog, to turn you black-and-while image into a set of curves. I believe it uses Potrace utility for this purpose, but it also gives the user the oportunity to change a lot of different parameters and see the effect right away.

Conclusion: two thumbs up, keep doing a good job!

The best SVG-Editor!

Not quite stable enough to use consistently.

Good .. But Have A poblim with .PNG .. you can't make the background 0% optacity at least you can chose 1% :-)

Remarkably stable for something still in "dot dot" release status.

Splendid; the interface and dialogs are so smooth (pardon the expression), it betters some of the 'professional' (read: expensive) alternatives. GIMP can really learn from them in this area, what with its clunky interface.

Plus, its keyboard shortcuts provide real alternatives to using the mouse all the time - a time waster sometimes.

Would have given 5 stars, if it ain't for the instability. Thanks Inkscape, and please _do_ keep it free.

i love this program, keyboard shortcuts make this far superior to any other. traditionally used on linux, gonna try the version for M$ now

I really love that!

Very good illustration tool, albeit somewhat unstable and slightly awkward UI wise. Illustration quality is generally very high.

Now that it also import PDFs, it's a great tool.

Really good. Am using it in production documents. Lots of the controls are intuitive.

Best of all, the tutorials are svg documents!

Very good illustrator tool. Works well. Has a lot of features.

Only the user interface has few small glitches on smaller computer screens.

Very well laid out and feature rich illustration tool but
not quite robust enough.
