Inkscape kicks patootie
by Rob Heittman
I'd been an Illustrator user for years -- since 2.0 for Windows! I design visual elements mainly for my company's software projects, and occasionally for friends who ask me to channel my Dad, who was a visual artist and taught me to emulate his style. (My work PC today is the illustration workstation Dad bought in 2003, which I inherited when he passed away in 2004)
I quit buying Illustrator for myself at AI10 because I just couldn't

Inkscape Rocks!
I recently got a new laptop and I tried Inkscape instead of trying to make my very old copy of Corel Draw run on a new box.
The learning curve on Inkscape was near zero. User interface is significantly better in dozens of small ways that really make it much easier to use and focus on the art.
This is a fantastic program, and I think I've only touched 10% of its functionality. Highly recommended.

Great for technical drawings
by Tom Nichols
I am a software developer and I actually use Inkscape a lot for technical drawings. Vector graphics are perfect for that task, and the end result is much, MUCH more aesthetically pleasing than your typical Visio diagram. Use it when you're making diagrams for that next executive presentation. Your boss will love you.
easy and powerful
Great work. I have been using it for years on a regular basis to produce my figures for scientific publications and it is doing an awesome job (I love the LaTeX formula feature :) ). THANKS !
