https://graphite.rs/ is the one I'm really waiting for, but this looks nice, especially for game developers.

Graphite is also super interesting, but every time I've used the raster (brush) tool, it's been unusably laggy. Idk if that's the web stack or something else, but if they can improve it, I'd def want to try again

That is way too much scope but looks awesome

Yes, it does seem overambitious, but I'd be happy if I can just replace Illustrator finally.

I have been using inkscape for vector graphics since more than ten years. It is FOSS and does everything I expect.

That's great, I'm glad you've found something that fits your requirements! Some of us need features it doesn't have, like the ability to adjust spacing between paragraphs (or rather, to have paragraphs at all rather than just add line breaks)

You are right, I don’t use it for text. Is that something illustrator does? Coming from inkscape I missed a lot of features in illustrator (university pays for the license). And as I stopped using After Effects the only reason to use it was gone.

Yes, Illustrator is much better at managing text (less that InDesign of course, but still good for simpler designs). In Inkscape's defense, many of the limitations are imposed by the SVG standard. I think paragraphs are one of them.
