    Inkscape supports many advanced SVG features (markers, clones, alpha blending, etc.) and great care is taken in designing a streamlined interface. It is very easy to edit nodes, perform complex path operations, trace bitmaps and much more. We also aim to maintain a thriving user and developer community by using open, community-oriented development. “
    Most of us, more familiar with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Freehand, Corel Draw and another paid software. I’m not a master in design, even I have no basic in Computer Science nor Graphic Design. Drawing is just my hobby and I still learning day by day. Before using Inkscape, there’s the overview of Inkscape that can be our consideration to use it.

    Inkscape is Free
    Inkscape is released as an opensource. No need to spend your money. Many of the popular graphic editor package are too expensive, especially for non-profit user. I think you’ll consider to spend too much money for your hobby not your work art. At least, it means you can download it freely without worry about expired date.

    Based on Vector Graphic
    Main benefit is Inkscape is vector graphic editor. Different with raster/bitmap graphic based on grid of pixel values, Inkscape represents image as geometric construct. It’s easier to say that bitmap image will crash if resized, vector image can be resized as large as possible and it wont be crash.

    User Friendly Layout
    Based on my own experience, Inkscape layout is easy to use. Tools and menus are arranged neatly so it’s understandable and user friendly.

    Simple Operation
    If you play with raster image editor, you should use so many layers for different section in one image. Inkscape is easy editable. For example, if you draw a duck, you should draw its head, body, tail, feet apart. This part wont be merged till you group it. That’s why we don’t need too many layers.

    Always being Developed
    Inkscape is actively developed, so there will be an updated version. Latest version of Inkscape available at its official site
