I’m not the person you replied to but...

I use Inkscape and Gimp at work, very tiny minor part of a small part of my workflow.

Today Inkscape was crashing when I tried to rotate a spline with six nodes in an otherwise empty workspace.

I’m probably going to buy a commercial vector graphics app even though my employer won’t pay for it because that sort of bug is a show stopper right when I need the program most.

Yep - similar experience with Inkscape. I mean - yeah it's fun and it's pretty capable but it's just really not capable of real work. It's a toy/open source "entry-level" piece of software.

Now imagine someone who needs to crank out 40 unique pieces of vector art within 4-5 days. There's NO WAY they can AFFORD to use Inkscape with those sort of stability issues.
