Inkscape is a fucking piece of shit

[Paws]

I think I've been busy for one hour now just to create the outlines of a sketch I've drawn. Inkscape already crashed once during this time when I was manipulating some nodes, like it always does - luckily I saved right before.

The interface sucks, well, just about everything of Inkscape. I draw a line with a thickness of 8 pixels, then draw another one, yet the thickness is back to 1 pixel.

There's so much wrong with this program, but as it's pretty much the only free vector program, I'm stuck with it

drawplus SE is free .. but only if you don't need layers or autotrace

And again it crashed

I have the free version of Drawplus installed, but it doesn't support SVG format.

And the third crash.

It's just a few strokes, like a cheap comic drawing, not thousands of details, but it's already too much for Inkscape.

One of the worst things about this piece of shit:
There are no different stroke and brush shapes.

I use it on OSX Leopard for the company ID cards and it has been relatively stable running under x11 but i'm sure if I tried it under Snow Leopard that it would crash. I am considerably less than happy with Snow Leopard in terms of stability and compatibility

I think it's not that bad on Linux, but the Windows port is piss-poor. It doesn't use the standard GUI because it's based on GTK, there's a lot of wasted free space in between icons and buttons, it crashes randomly as I already wrote, it doesn't properly support graphic tablets and there are many more usability mistakes.
