Really sad commentary that you blame Inkscape. The general experience
with Inkscape here and elsewhere is that it is outstanding. You might
want to look at the Windows ecosystem for why you are having problems.

As far as a recommendation...Adobe Illustrator. It is the premier svg
editor for the Windows environment. Absolutely the best thing for you
given your context.
