Inkscape is brilliant
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm in the midst of creating a local Linux
| Users Group and I'm cobbling together a quick
| logo using a Creative Commons photograph, GIMP
| for making the image properly black and white,
| and Inkscape for setting the type (FreeSans)
| and bringing all the elements together.
|
| Every time I use Inkscape it is a joy and a
| pleasure. In terms of usability and interface,
| it is so much nicer than Adobe Illustrator (and
| I used Illustrator every day for 10 years!). It
| is also so much cheaper. Like, Free.

4 Resources for the Powerful Inkscape Open Source Drawing Tool
,----[ Quote ]
| Among advanced open source graphics tools, GIMP has a lot of fans, and there

| drawing and illustration tool that can compete with Adobe Illustrator and is
| especially good for logos and splashy still graphics, give Inkscape a try.

Inkscape: one essential vector graphics application
,----[ Quote ]
| Inkscape is my vector graphics application of choice. It can do a wide
| variety of vector drawing tasks with relatively little effort. It uses the
| now-standard SVG vector format as its native format, and it has become very
| extensible through a simple âstream-basedâ, language-agnostic scripting
| system. On modern systems, it is reasonably responsive (though not the
| fastest), and the interface layout is well-balanced and fairly intuitive.
|
| Since I use Inkscape every day and itâs clearly my favorite vector graphics
| tool, thereâs really no way my review of it can be unbiased. So I wonât
| pretend to be. Instead, Iâll just try to be as complete as I can about the
| more unique features of the program.

Inkscape Tutorial - The Sun
,----[ Quote ]
| Half of the battle in graphic design is working smarter, not harder. I've
| done some tutorials for Gimp which push that tool to its limits, but too many
| folks focus on Gimp and forget that we have a whole arsenal of power graphics
| tools on the Linux desktop. Here is one image which would have been a pain to
| do in Gimp, but a snap in Inkscape.
