7:55 AM EST 		Rob is suggesting that Inkscape will replace The GIMP, I don't think so. They actually supplement each other to create a powerful package. Since both are Open Source (I am assuming both GPLed), I think they make an excellent Vector/Raster graphics package. One more thing, Rob didn't comment or even mention Sodi Podi, which in my opinion, is a very powerful vector graphic applications yet easy to use and has all Inkscape features and capabilities plus a lot more. It would be nice to see a comparison between the two.

7:56 PM EST 		Corel Draw!! .. Corel Draw!! .. Corel Draw!! .. Corel Draw!! .. Corel Draw!!

If the program wasn't so unstable and quirky in some corners I would say it was the best vector graphic app ever.

It's nice to see the folks of Inkscape pushing their product and all. I just hope one day we get very close to Corel Draw's brilliant over functionality Much like Gimp is nearing Photoshop.

When given a choice over raster I am usually stuck what to choose Photoshop or Gimp? But when given a choice over vector graphics its Corel Draw 11 under Win4Lin all the way .. without hesitation.

8:48 PM EST 		I loved Corel Draw, used to use it all the time. Is Corel still in business?? Anyone remember Ransom Love? Oh wait, that was Caldera. Too many corpses littering the Linux Trail.

But, "in business" doesn't mean "on the radar", it seems.

Dell still bundles WordPerfect, etc. on its low-end PC's...

Try http://www.corel.com

I think the Linux community lost interest in Corel when they caved to Microsoft...
