Linux Format Magazine has an article on Inkscape http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/
It has a strange lead in, I think they must have a regular section for the Gimp or something because of the way it is presented in relation to the Gimp.
I only very quickly skim read the article (I'm not currently gainfully employed and have only pennies to my name) but it seemed favourable overall. I noted in particular that he found the user interface to be friendly. He mentions the Boolean operators and quotes one of the developers as having said that in the last while 'inkscape has improved 100%' (or suchlike).
The article was written by Michael J. Hammel who appears to also be the author of "Essential Gimp for Web Professionals" and owner of the site http://graphics-muse.com/ and this page http://freshmeat.net/~mjhammel/ (his connections to the Gimp would explain the odd context of the Inkscape article). Perhaps someone might contact him and encourage him to write more about Inkscape. (Recommend some topics and I might try my hand at writing an article about Inkscape if I had a place to start).
Sincerely

Very cool, although I couldn't find the article... Could you post a direct link to it? It looks like it's not on the homepage any longer...

Sorry if I misled you the article is in the print edition issue 56 which is already available in the shops even though the website is still advertising issue 55. (Silly really, the website should be trying to entice readers with the cover and table of contents of the next issue).
Even when I can afford it, Linux Format it is low on my list of magazines to buy (although I did buy it a few months ago because they had Mandrake Move on the cover and I didn't particularly want to go to the trouble of downloading and burning it myself).
I dont know how long before it becomes part of the archives but the archive list seems to be about 20 issues behind. I made a point of remembering who wrote the article because if some one (besides me) might be willing to contact him and ask for his direct feedback and encourage him to write more articles on Inkscape.

Ahh... Hmm, this isn't a magazine I've seen - is it UK only?
Mind generalizing what it mentioned about Inkscape?

It seems to be distributed here on a limited basis. I know that I can usually get it at Fry's Electronics here... but it is also kind of expensive (I'm guessing by it being an import, and it usually comes with several CDs). I'll pick one up this weekend if it's at Fry's.
Thanks for brining this to our attention!
