Your words not mine. I'm not saying Xara is worthless but what I am saying it is you are giving it a massively disproproptionate worth compared to other far more successful products.
I'm not "giving it worth". It just so happens that I know Xara very well. And I also know Illustrator well enough to understand in what ways the latter is worse than the former.
it is a shame all your zeal comes from Xara and you dont seem to have been influenced by much else.
My zeal comes from my experience with all programs. I've tried almost all of them, and did some paid design work at least in AI, Corel, FH, and Xara. How many real-world design projects have you done in any vector editor?
You are wrong, and everyone can see this easily by going to that page.
They can see you didn't point out anything Xara did badly but instead made a list of features Inkscape has that Xara doesn't.
Have you actually read it? There are TWO lists there, one of Inkscape features/conveniences that Xara does not have, and the other of Xara features/conveniences that Inkscape does not have. Both lists are pretty detailed, and recently I started reworking them into even more detailed and focused per-feature comparison (see below the two lists).
In fact, I don't see anyone here ranting, except you. Where are all those rants that you're speaking about?
Only the hypothetical ones you brought up, but perhaps I shouldn't have responded to one hypotherical with another.
Here I agree. No one has been doing content-free ranting on Inkscape so far, so the point is moot.
