Anyone know the basic differences between Open Office Draw and Inkscape? Although I have oodraw installed on my box, I've only just looked at it and never really used it. I did notice that it can't open svg files (in version 1.1.4 anyway) though it does export to svg.
I dislike two things at OOo Draw: its lack of antialiasing on drawings, which make it useless for anything beyond simple usage and (subjective criteria) how it feel when drawing freeform lines and adjusting nodes.
On the plus side, OOo Draw has nice connectors, useful for creating flowcharts and a powerful export to PDF. The real power of Draw is how it interact with the rest of the suite (for example copy one element from Writer, paste on Draw, rotate, copy and paste again in Writer).
I can go listing a lot of small differences and annoyances I would feel like completely trashing Draw, which is not a thing I would like to do (I am somehow affiliated with OOo).
