That doesn't need to be the case. I absolutely love Adobe Illustrator, yet I was seeking an alternative for a long time. The biggest difference you have with Inkscape is that it's free software. I can love the functionality and interface and still seek an alternative because it's nothing else but platform dependent, $$$-bound upgrades requiring, patent filled, proprietary package.

On the other hand I agree you should concentrate on designing rather than copying. We seem to have a disagreement on the task-based design approach though. ;)
