> silhouette software is proprietary

To an exteeeeeeeent. I will point out that Silhouette is owned by Graphtec (who makes normal commercial cutters).

You can get a very smooth upgrade path going from a Silhouette machine to a Graphtec machine running Silhouette software to then moving designs into the Graphtec packages.

Otherwise... yeah. Silhouette machine driven with the Inkscape plugin is 100% the way to go to handle cutting.
