True. Though when I use a circle object to cut out a piece of a square, or other Boolean operation, import artwork from gimp, and add text, these things are not so much "Drawing" in my mind. ;) On 4 Sep 2015 7:07 pm, "Martin Owens" <doctormo@...400...> wrote:

Yea, my thoughts exactly about using the font on the website as well. I do rather like "Draw Freely" though, to be honest, I do far more layout and construction of shapes than drawing. Likewise, I always wondered about "Illustrator" as the name of Adobe's Inkscape alternative. Illustration is the least of what goes on in Illustrator, ihmo. Something more accurate might be "Design Free", though it doesn't have the playful nature of "Draw". So I recommend sticking with Draw Freely. Drawing is something everyone is familiar with, so there's a tactile connection that transcends the technical nature of software. It's a statement as much about the UX of Inkscape as it is about the freedom of creation, and the freedom of Inkscape as FOSS software.
There's more than one definition of 'draw' ;-) e.g. draw out, draw in, draw up, draw breath, draw your guns, draw a card, draw the game.
So in Inkscape you're free to do any of those :-D
