I'm a huge fan of inkscape, but I find the layers in 1.2 really annoying, and a backwards step. That the visibility "eye" only appears when a layer is not visible seems pretty counter intuitive to me, and that clicking anywhere else on the layer opens it up to reveal the elements inside is also a backwards step to me. Being able to see them is a great idea, but this move makes it much harder to manage documents with…
Such a wonderful program. I have used Inkscape for decades! I love it. THe only problem I have is that when I use it heavily, I get proficient with the UX, then I dont touch it for an extended period and have to re-learn a bunch of stuff each time. Anyone switch to Krita? I have Krita, but I always go back to Inkscape. I did all the documentation for the LucasFilm, San Francisco General Hospital, Brocade and others i…

I switched from Inkscape to Affinity Designer and never looked back.

I get that it’s a GTK application so not running with native UI components, but is there something that can be configured or installed to make it more responsive? Just opening Inkscape with a blank document and resizing the window is incredibly laggy, maybe redrawing the window only once or twice a second as I resize it.
edit: I should have installed version 1.2 before posting this comment. I've now tried it and it's much more responsive than it's ever been on macOS. Really great work from the Inkscape team!

No libre OS support, for those wondering. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/98932-faq-...
Inkscape is one of those programs that I have a love/hate relationship with. I’m not a heavy user; when I use it, I’m coming at as a novice, usually with a specific task in mind and I find that I might as well have Inkscape open on half the screen and Google open on the other half as I have to search for how to do anything. Once I find it, it works fine, but the UI seems the exact opposite of approachable for me. (It…

What are the alternatives to Gimp that you like?
That said, the UI performance is dire on the Mac now vs. pre-1.0.
