As a professional user of illustrator I find many of the common features in inkscape to be amazingly intuitive. This is a great piece of open source software. I'm almost tempted to try and do an assignment or a freelance project with it just to be like, yeah, I did this with free software.

If you're already good with illustrator don't overlook inkscape, my instincts are telling me that Adobe will take notice of the features that inkscape has and will implement them in CS4, or whatever they're going to call the next version.

Since i currently must use Inkscape for a project I'm very positive impressed. But looks like with a german keyboard some Shortcuts don't work and i can't find a button for those functions :>

What about a Debian .deb file?

On the site, there's a "Link," to an autopackage file, but the link just goes to the sourceforge page for Inkscape, and there is no autopackage file in the list.

And the newest version isn't in the repositories for Ubuntu yet, either.

Personally I don't like Inkscape, primarily because I don't like 2d art. Its not even very useful for post render processing. NathanKP

Ok, I tried Inkscape because it came on the DVD with Tony Mullen's book. It looks like it holds amazing promise, but I really don't know where to start with it! Has anyone found any online tutorials like Blender has, or are there any books I should look at?

The one "tutorial" I found for it was actually part of an eBook and the guy was giving away the first couple of chapters as a preview…

Inkscape is so much easier for me than Illustrator or any other VG program. My hat goes off to the Inkscape team.
