Inkscape works good on Windows too, but its UI... It's like it was made by monkeys for dinosaurs. I'm not sure that Inkscape devs ever tried to use it themselves.
The UI isn't the best, but is it really that bad? I've used some adobe software as well, and I don't really find Inkscape's UI that hard to use in comparison. Whether it's pretty is another question.
Pretty bad in my opinion. Especially when you're working on more than one document at a time.
I agree that it's bad for editing anything more than a page, didn't think of that as I only really use it to make figures, which I think it's pretty great for.
Idk about you but I thought this was the case as well, since the last time I used Inkscape was probably like 6 years ago, and at the time, the UI was super dated looking (don't get me wrong, it was still functional).
The different is night and day now, I honestly couldn't tell that it was the same software. UI looks super clean and modern.
I used fresh Inkscape installation to fix some SVG files last month. Its UI is still cancer from 1990-s.
