Message body follows:

I've only very recently heard of Inkscape (say in the last couple of months). Recently I downloaded the software and tried it out on a Mac OS X machine, as part of an article I'm researching for my blog. After spending a few hours with Inkscape, I was impressed enough with your work to write a "compare and contrast" review for my blog:

In case you don't have time to read it, I compared Inkscape to Macromedia FreeHand MXa and it compared very favorably. I found a few things in each product I didn't find in the other. Most of what I found in FreeHand that isn't in Inkscape didn't seem to be anything I would personally want, need, or expect to find in an illustration program.

Since there's no appropriate forum I can find for communicating this information to the development team for Inkscape (i.e., it's not a bug, not a tip/trick, etc.) I decided to take a moment to write some of the developers directly. I'm very impressed with what you've done and look forward to seeing future releases!
