How did you replace AE?
https://shotcut.org - has done fairly well for me. I believe `DaVinci - Resolve` is a paid tool which also has a free linux version (with restrictions). Honestly, video editing can be crashy and resource-intensive so don't be afraid to pay for something.
I am so happy this was finally released. This update fixed a few major memory leaks they were having in the last release. I love Inkscape but that was unbearable. There was a problem with the color droplet tool, simply moving it around increased your memory usage by folds. A smaller one that became annoying overtime was simply dragging objects around on the grid. The nightly build had that one fixed awhile back but m…
I love Inkscape, but really the performance in mac is completely insufficient, each action takes at least 1 second to load. Probably is not their fault or main target OS, but is so hard to find a free or open source alternative with the same functionality for mac.
Adobe software these days is just slow and painful to use.
Inkscape is fantastic. It, Blender and Krita has completely freed me from paying subscription fees for creative tools. I used to be an Adobe Suite (PS, AI, AE, PP) user, but I've yet to encounter a situation where I've felt limited by not having access to those "premium" applications any more. There are issues of course - memory leaks and odd GUI handling on Windows in particular - but I've had the same sort of issue…
darktable + Hugin have me covered for photography. I just want better Wayland support. Specifically I'm waiting for Wayland to get color management merged--even if it only supports standard definition and old ICC profile formats as a stop-gap.
I hoped to see CMYK support in the release notes. There is an extension that provides PDF export with a hack but it would be great to see native support. https://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/ExportPDFCMYK
if you want to print, I'd recommend adding Scribus to the toolchain, it has cmyk support and you can replace inkscapes rgb colors inside scribus with cmyk ones.

I don't disagree with most of what you're saying, but I wish there was a decent open-source 2d Vector animation software that could compete with Flash/Animate. I know Krita has a decent animation tool, but it's only raster, and I haven't encountered a really good vector tool yet.
What limitations does https://www.synfig.org have?
Of course, I'm talking mostly about Sketch that pioneered an approach with a lot of tiny things done right. When transitioning to Sketch from tools like fireworks or Inkscape, I was amazed how right they did the work with coordinates, half-pixels and masks, and various copy-duplicate mechanics. Guys, it is OK to steal interface innovations from Sketch! Figma did it all the time, and so can you!

The performance is great on Windows. The main issue with Inkscape in the past was lack of proper CYMK support. I'd do all the work in Inkscape then bring into Illustrator. Adobe software these days is just slow and painful to use.
So far as I can tell, the primary good reason to maintain a modern version of Adobe products is so that they can interoperate with other people's modern version of Adobe products. (Though I understand Photoshop has released some nice new features recently.) Indeed, you could even have a recent version when needed and a faster, leaner, older version for quotidian work.
I click and drag and nothing happens for at least 1 second.
