How much time have you put into Inkscape now? I'm hankering for some reviews from people who are also refugees from the Adobe ecosystem.

I don't use it regularly enough to weigh in comprehensively- I use it mostly for processing svg drawings created in other programs for cnc plotting, or for compiling svg drawings onto standardized layouts for sending to a printer

My only complaint with inkscape is that it's a bit slow with rendering complex shapes/canvases with many points, but otherwise it does everything I need from a vector program.

The CNC plug in is so useful! I also made my wedding save the dates in it and some figures for a scientific manuscript: worked great.
