lol at the "no plan to change at the moment" crap. that ship has already sailed.
Better give inkscape more practice.
Too bad Inkscape uses GTK. It's fine under Linux and okayish under Windows but under macOS it's just horse shit. There's a reason Krita's popularity exploded. It just works great everywhere (heck, even Android under Samsung DeX).
What makes it bad on mac? On windows I find both krita and inkscape mediocre UI's but idk how much of that is the toolkit, and how much just small open source teams not having time for ui/ux

It's like using an old Java GUI application on a modern OS.
Yeah, same with GIMP. I would love to use it on my Mac since I already use it and am comfortable with it on Linux, but it's noticeably slow for some reason and you shouldn't even try using it with the touchpad. The windows especially in multi-window mode don't behave as you'd expect, the keybinds don't either, it's very meh all around. I was wondering whether I should get Affinity but I guess with this it's a no.
The difference to GIMP is that Inkscape is written in C++, so a port to Qt would be more feasible than a Gimp port to Qt.
Krita on Mac works fine, btw. Get it on Steam if you want an auto updater.
The only thing that inkscape could be better at is image tracing. Other than that its my favorite vector software.
I’ve used Designer for several years now in combination with inkscape very heavily for work having bashed my head against a wall called Adobe Illustrator for years - all the obvious reasons including terrible svg support. Inkscape should be supported for sure , but Designer has sped up workflow no end with what I use it for. It’s a shame that everything must enshittify.
“At the moment” being the key part of that phrase. All the changes still have to be worked out lol.
