Tha Author (Jason Brock) probably never tried using Inkscape for anything else other that "test" it for his article. Buggy software that it's even worse that CorelDraw for Windows.

Btw, I'm using CorelDraw since 1994 (Corel 3). Even now (Corel 2019) it crashes when you try to Import some EPS files or just randomly crashes...

My 2cents: If you want to start as a Graphic Designer, Adobe is the only way to go. Windows or Mac, doesn't matter. Start with a PC with any crappy Monitor (they are all crappy) and then when you have the money, buy a Macbook Pro or an iMac.

Finally, the state of Linux graphic design tools, it's exactly the same as it was 10 years ago. They just don't work properly for professional work and there is a perfectly good reason NOBODY is using them and will probably never will in the future.

I've used Inkscape professionally, and found it helpful.

How did you find it inadequate and what bugs got in your way?

For me, no GPU acceleration. This makes it extremely laggy and choppy (e.g., line tearing when scrolling... but not like brief; the tear is persistent until you move the screen and it re-renders that bit of the canvas). And it's at the utopian extreme end of their roadmap last I checked.

I haven't seen this bug occurring for a looong time. Is it still reproducible? (If so, sad.)
