Re: Inkscape can be extremely frustrating

Hi, Brynn:
Thank you for the Link about the Bug fix.  Since Inkscape is free, maybe
the creators
are not very motivated to fix everything about  it ?

If it were a high price program like Adobe Illustrator, there would have
enough money to
pay programmers to fix it and make it better.
