      Inkscape is incredible! I needed to vectorize some images in pretty specific ways and struggled through the process with my usual drawing software (Clip Studio Paint). It sucked so much! Inkscape did the same thing much better in a fraction of the time

        I know what you mean. Back in the day I worked at a graphics bureau, making logos and other illustrations. I worked in Illustrator, and though I could make what I wanted, when I tried Inkscape, it all just got so much easier - and so much more fun and intuitive to work with. Before I felt more like a constructor, and with Inkscape I feel more like a crafter/artist.
