I would add that I've had the same experience with a close designer friend who was very open to using Inkscape, but gave up because they were on a Mac. I have no doubt that this would make a huge difference for a lot of potential users, as a lot of designers gravitate towards Apple hardware. I'm not a developer, so I may not be the best choice, but I'm willing to reach out to him if no one else has the time/interest.

re using Mac, Windows and Ubuntu. Ubuntu is clearly th thing that Inkscape works on the best, while Windows is slightly harder because they struggled to get the DXF12 extension to work with the po2edit requirement (I fixed that now) but the Mac version... it was doing some odd things. Like dragging and dropping a symbol would turn it into a raster image (how is that even possible?) and various other issues, menus, keyboard all things that the linked repository claims to fix.
I got my contact there to install via homebrew, it took 6 hours to install but aparently is working much better. So apart from the install time, there's clearly a build that isn't quite so bad out there.
