I've dabbled in the past few years with Inkscape, and for me it was a bit like the GIMP - served a purpose but felt a bit unwieldy.

I've recently been doing a few favicon's with the latest release, and SVG images for a game's splash screen, and I'm just extremely impressed with what you people involved have put together with Inkscape. Bloody good job, and thankyou. A brilliant effort.

Cheers, Joe
