After months of waiting, we are finally ready to unbox the latest version of Inkscape... meet 1.4, the Geek edition, where accessibility and customization reign.
Inkscape project developers, most of them volunteer contributors from countries around the world, have been plugging away behind the scenes on new features, improving current ones, bug fixes and setting the stage for the arrival of GTK 4.
I think I may have contracted some kind of brain worm, because the other day I needed to do some photo manipulation and couldn’t get krita to do what I wanted, but I went into gimp and just knocked it out. I’ve hated gimp for years, but I guess I’ve used it enough that I’ve figured out how it works… and now I don’t hate it anymore…
I think I may need help.
Oh, but I always use it in single window mode ever since that came out. The multiple windows floating panel thing drove me nuts!
But stuff like writing text fields and moving them around is just horrible. The text doesnt behave as expected at all, formatting is always lost, moving instead grabs something random from the background
I recently did raster graphics editing in inkscape instead of GIMP, simply because GIMP is often pretty unusable. Worked out really fine!

Yes GIMP works too, kinda.

That works really fine in Inkscape
I use Krita for raster, but Inkscape is the best for vector
And to complete the trifecta, there’s also Aseprite for pixel art (it’s free if you compile it yourself).
I find that I’ll do the bare minimum in GIMP (like that one healing extension), and then I’ll copy what I have over to Inkscape to do the rest.
