IMHO its still ages away from being equivalent to Adobe Illustrator. But a great tool anyways.
Do you have Adobe Illustrator for linux? You dont? Which means that Adobe Illustrator is not even ready leave alone being the equiv of Inkscape. Which by the way also runs natively on M$ wormware.
And by the way the same cribs were bandied about for various apps, prime example being Oo. A few years on M$ office is a caricature best left to those who never get it.
You can switch now and save yourself a load of pain 2 yrs downhill or not at all and sink in the lake with the millstone firmly tied to your head.
a) I am NOT A GRAPHICS DESIGNER. b) Inkscape is already into development for more than "few" years. c) Will you use Oo, if Oo failed to export files in any format other than odf ? Not even RTF or text or HTML ? d) How will you make a design if the tools required to design are not yet implemented ? e) There are plethora of applications which do not run on Linux that doesnt make those applications inferior. Linux is not an operating system you see on every desktop, yet.
Another analogy will be of people not using Linux for CAD because we are yet to see tools which will match softwares like AutoCAD.
