We all love open-source software, but there are so many amazing projects out there that often go unnoticed. Let's change that! Share your favorite open-source software that you think more people should know about. Here’s how you can contribute:

  1. Single Option Per Comment: Mention one open-source software per comment to be able to easily find the most popular software.
  2. No Duplicates: Avoid duplicating software that has already been mentioned to ensure a wide variety of options.
  3. Upvote What You Love: If you see a software that you also appreciate, upvote it to help others discover it more easily.

Not sure why you're being this hostile.

CMYK is easy to work around.

But that's the point, that you need workarounds for such a simple and (if you work with printed materials) essential feature.

So, your argument is, that you can find 1 tool where AI is better, and then everything else doesn’t matter?

That's literally not what I said, just that I don't think it's necessarily the best based on what I've read. I agree that it being FLOSS raises its appeal quite a bit, but it's not quite there yet to replace Illustrator for me.

Well, fine - keep paying a sh*tload of money for Adobe, and use AI, that’s totally fine by me. :-)

Yeah, Adobe's predatory pricing is why I'm not paying for it. But sadly it's still the only tool I found that has all the features I need.

Oh, if you’d be so kind, show me something made in AI, that Inkscape can’t do?

A CMYK file lol. But I'm not going to do work for you, you're clearly not engaging in good faith.

    Because "best" is obvious a subjective statement, and you wanted to argue that...

    Inkscape can make a CMYK-file, with an addon. It's pretty easy. Besides CMYK is only relevant is you want to print, and most graphics work today is for screens. It literally takes about 7 seconds to make it CMYK.

    What feature do you need, that Inkscape can't do? Is it really the 7 seconds to make it CMYK, that breaks you?
