Free and Open Source Inkscape Vector Graphics Editor is 20 Years Old with a Big Update

The latest point release, Inkscape 1.3.1, has grown into one of the biggest bug fix packages they've ever shared with the community. Update to benefit from more than 70 bug fixes, 16 improved user interface translations, and even two small, new features!

Inkscape has proved itself to be a good alternative to Adobe Illustrator. It is a free and open-source vector graphics editor that is similar to Illustrator in many ways. Inkscape can be used to create a wide variety of graphic designs, including illustrations, logos, icons, and website graphics. It also has a variety of features that are similar to Illustrator, such as layers, paths, and filters. I've also found my drawing tablet on Linux to work very well with it.

It is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS.

I love Inkscape.

Many of my coworkers are snobby Mac-addict graphic designers, and I hear them complain about how much Photoshop and Illustrator, etc., cost to have on their home computer for their personal use outside of work.

Sometimes I'll preach the good news to them about GIMP and Inkscape, etc., but they'd rather spend money they don't have on Adobe for their private projects like photo touch-ups, greeting cards, logo designs, and the like.

If they were open to help, I would come over and install some of these good open source alternatives for them -- and I'd loan them my copy of Dave Ramsey's "Total Money Makeover" book!
