I still use Gimp to make raster projects, and got inkscape for vector. Gimp is not very beginner friendly, but once you get used to it, it's a dream.

    I used Photoshop all throughout high school, and I have to say that the best alternative I've used is Photopea. The slowness is only really a problem once you start getting into higher and higher resolution sizes or when you start using dozens and dozens of layers and unapplied effects. That or you have a low end computer. (Also combining Blender, Photopea, and Krita/IbisPaint X is just the best)

    Im a game dev hobbyist and I was always worried about vector art for icons, but I looked into it and got inkscape and its so easy to pick up. And utterly perfect for any sort of UI you want. I made a health bar and some status effect icons (fire and poison) and im so happy with them. Saved me so much time.

      I think 20 or even 25 years is more like it. They gave it the ribbon interface at some point after 2000 and that's about it. Microsoft has forgotten this program exists. It has bugs that it's had all that time. It can't even manage bleeds and printer's marks. They never put it on Mac, which is inconvenient, too. I suspect that one day they'll remember it - and kill it. A big shame - it could be good.

      And now here we are with its biggest update a few weeks ago. I can relate here since my entire hobby is based around graphic design with Inkscape. Before then, it used to be so laggy and buggy but I’m so happy that it got a huge performance boost. I love using it cause of the simplicity of the app and how it enables me to create so much with its pallets of features, like filters and path effects.

Canva actually has a new drawing tool to make art in the app but it’s new and a bit glitchy but I feel in the coming updates they may also Intergrated vector drawing. All programs are tools and I use a mix of many different programs. My favorite are procreate and Canva. I can easily make my custom illustrations in procreate remove background, send straight to canva and my work flow is so seamless and all on my iPad. I tried a lot of the adobe suite but with my slow computer it’s honestly just a waste of time the programs just crash soo much, maybe I like too many layers.

    I love Inkscape, I teach graphic design at high school and we use it, it’s constantly getting updates and constantly getting better and better
    A lot of schools use affinity but they almost force you into getting the full suite with features spread across all their programs, ink scape has a does a lot

    Microsoft Excel can be surprisingly powerful for page layout and design. In a previous job I was the "Excel wizard" of the office. The company hired a design studio for a rebrand, and I got given the task of updating all of the Excel templates we had to implement the new branding. Trying to use Excel to create complex, dynamic page layouts felt more like trying to summon a graphics demon with a medieval grimoire, but the results ended up looking really good.
    Inkscape is a great vector editor. Free, open source, cross platform, and very flexible. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a featureful design and illustration tool.
