But on top of that practical need, they did look absolutely unique, and it's a shame that, apart from Inkscape, no modern software (to my knowledge) even considers this technique as a legitimate need of an artist.
CorelDRAW does consider engravers as a major target market. However, I am not sure if they see the word "engraver" in the same sense that you are talking about. For DRAW, engravers include people who do woodworking, 3D engraving or machining, signs or awards, etc. I'm not sure if the tools would be similar, nor have I used the tools for these tasks yet in either program (not sure if there is anything specific in DRAW for doing these things, or if they just try to ensure the tools available work for these applications). Just thought I'd mention it in case you want to find out what tools DRAW has and do some fun comparison :)
