It's great to hear you're getting good use of inkscape. I'll forward this along to the development lists.

Thanks, Bryce

Hello,

I'm not much of a graphics developer, but every now and then I need a graphic for a website I'm doing. I've only been using Inkscape for about 6 months and I really enjoy it.

Recently I put a copy of Adobe Illustrator on my Macbook Pro and thought "Surely this industry standard powerhouse package is more powerful than Inkscape." Wrong! I quickly learned that the simple things I took for granted in Inkscape are not possible in Illustrator (at least not intuitive enough for me to find after hours of searching).

For example, adding corners to a star on the fly, editing the radius of a rectangle, and so on.

The blurring feature in the latest version really put Inkscape on a whole new level. It was pivotal in creating the main graphic for this website (http://www.wildpaddle.com).

My only lament is that Inkscape requires X11 on Mac.

Thank you so much for such an excellent product!
