Inkscape helps me with my work as a developer

What are the best aspects of this product?

It’s a great alternative to pricey vector graphics editors available in the market today. Its design is pretty simple and clean and it does not consume much storage space. On top of that, it is licensed and free under the GNU GPL. You will be able to get your project done without paying a hefty price for the software. And unlike the giants in the market, this tool is pretty easy to use. For beginners, there are a number of resources and tutorials for free that can help you get started. The vendor offers an official learning guide but you can also find tutorials on YouTube. There’s a huge self-help open source community so you won’t have any problems finding answers to your questions.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

I am always looking forward to new features but unfortunately, the vendor rarely introduces new functionalities. But they do update the product on a constant basis but mainly to fix bugs and security problems. Also, its interface looks a bit outdated. It would just be cool if they make it more visually appealing. Nevertheless, it still functions well. And since it is an open-source solution and has great compatibility, we are able to find a skin to customize it on the net.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

I am a developer and part of my job is editing images and creating icons for the websites I develop. I use Inkscape for such tasks and it’s amazing. I am no expert in graphics editing so this app’s ease of use is really a big thing for me. I am able to do what I have to do. I am able to redraw or retouch logos in poor quality, create sets of customized icons, and many more.

Are you a current user of this product?
